Lisa Hirsch is the woman behind this jewelry line.
She's a native New Yorker- who spent her formative years playing in the Atlantic Ocean, poking around the Manhattan, & getting in some good domestic & international travel under her belt.
Her creativity is a cumulative amalgamation of experiences, reflecting how & who she creates for: a little bit of everybody.
All are welcomed here.
Pigeon Heart Designs (PHD) began at the close of 2010 as a side hustle while obtaining her Masters in Early Childhood Edu.After graduating she moved to the Bay Area & taught for several years, where PHD was secondary job with steadily increasing momentum.
She took a few silversmithing classes in 2019, & when the pandemic hit- wound up relying on the craft as her only source of income. Time morphed & slowed during 2020 as the world essentially paused, allowing her to concentrate a unique amount of energy into learning & growing her skills. Now she's living the independent, rocky & fulfilling entrepreneurial dream in the green valley of Portland, Or with her partner & their little, precious street mutt, Penique.
When she's not running the business, you can find her gardening, on long walks, getting in some Q-T with some cuties, immersed in nature, or exploring abandoned houses.
Her greatest dream is to be an expat, live next to a welcoming body of not-too-cool water, & to make big dinners about every other week with loved ones, share laughs around the table by candle light, singing songs together with full hearts & bellies.

This site is a dedication to her.
