Let’s start with something easy. What’s your name and your website?

Rickina and my website is www.spipo.com.

 How did you come up with your name for the company?

My dad gave me the name Spipo as a little girl and I thought it was appropriate for my collection of colorful and different handcrafted jewelry.

 How did you know that this was the right career for you?

Because no matter how well or bad I’m doing, I still love to sit down & create beautiful jewelry that people will wear, appreciate, and simply LOVE! 

What sites and blogs do you enjoy reading?

Anything that pertains to the entrepreneur, fast cars, and fashion. 

Do you work alone or collaborate with others on your projects?

I mostly work alone, occasionally I enlist the help of my photographer friend or my husband.

What are some of your favorite tools of your creative trade?

Gorgeous sparkling gemstone beads! You can literally get any color in the rainbow now. How cool is that?!

Were you born with that innate sense of style or was it was a skill that had to be acquired?

You’re too funny. Well, my mom was a model so I got some of it from her and I just love things that are different and make me feel or look good. I try things until it works, actually anyone can do it.
