LA / Long Beach Based. Kelsey Lacanilao is an Aquarius lesbian and Filipino maker. ​She started making art & jewelry as amulets, and as a way of feeling more connected with the Earth & her body - to adorn it with self-made things that make her feel beautiful and protected. ​ Tulá means "poem" in Tagalog. In this spirit, Tula Designs offers gingerly handcrafted adornments, inspired by tender composition & expression, ancestry & heritage, the natural world, and the lyrical body.
