about

2014 was a time of raw vegans, tumblr, and the iPhone 5. I was in my second year of high school and I was desperate for those pompom earrings that all the cool festival girls had. Unable to afford them, I found myself at Spotlight to buy earring hooks, a feather boa and a glue gun. I made about 10 pairs on my living room floor in the brightest colours you can imagine and posted them on my personal Instagram.

Pretty soon girls at school wanted to buy them. At this stage I was making 15-20 pairs of pompom earrings per week and dealing them out of my locker and in the hallways for $10 a pop. Business was booming until a teacher found out about my earring dealership empire and shut me down.

Things got a bit more serious after that. I began pulling all nighters to make hundreds of choker necklaces and set up an Instagram page. The school even let me hold a stall one day, where to my complete surprise, about 300 girls rocked up and the whole thing sold out. That weekend, the Courier Mail slapped me & my pompom earrings on page 21. 

My dream is to make sure my pieces live great, crazy lives. If you nab yourself a discotonic piece, wear it everywhere, wear it often, wear it when you're happy, wear it when you're sad, wear it while you dance, swim, and go to dinner. Make it your own. 

For absolutely any questions, please email me at info@discotonic.com. I'd love to hear from you :-) 

lots of love,
