Hi, I’m Kasie Degan
the artist & designer behind kasie makes
Whatever the medium: pipe cleaners, paint, or fine metals my passion is to create art with my hands. I find joy when someone looks at my art and they react with a smile, and I am honored when they chose to wear my jewelry for their self-expression.
I packed up my South Philadelphia studio and relocated to as far south in Florida you can go….Key West! Although I will always be a city girl at heart, going from city life to island living is my best decision yet. I am inspired by my surroundings and the people I meet here everyday and my goal is to translate that love and inspiration into every piece that I make.

“An untouched sheet of sterling silver is like a blank canvas, the possibilities are endless and I find that so exciting!”
-Kasie Degan
I start with sterling silver sheets and wire and through processes like sawing, soldering, and hammering, I create my designs. I think my favorite technique is hammering because I love playing around with textures and patterns. An untouched sheet of sterling silver is like a blank canvas, the possibilities are endless and I find that so exciting!
