About Sun Sand Stitch
Jess is the designer and creator behind Sun Sand Stitch. She has been crocheting for 5 years and started designing in 2018 when she started Sun Sand Stitch. Growing up in southern California, much of her inspiration comes from the beach and nature. Her designs are simple in construction with a “boho” flair. Through her designs, Jess hopes to inspire others to be more conscientious of the environment and to raise awareness for environmental issues. When she’s not crocheting, Jess is usually studying. She is finishing up her bachelor’s degree in environmental science and biology and will be graduating in spring, 2021.
