Hi there! I’m Kassie.

I’m a Cherokee metalsmith, jewelry designer, and graphic artist based in St. Louis. I create jewelry and design work through my studio, Mean Right Hook, where I blend contemporary design with Southeastern Native art.

A lot of my work is inspired by Southeastern designs and the ways Native people continue to carry those ideas into modern life. I love creating pieces that are wearable, meaningful, and connected to something bigger.

Alongside my jewelry work, I also work as a graphic designer and creative for Native-owned brands including Ginew and Prados Beauty. Design has always been a huge part of how I tell stories and connect with people, whether that’s through jewelry, apparel, branding, or artwork.
