Meet Your Maker
Hi, I’m Gavin, the artist behind FoldIT Creations! My jewelry journey started completely by accident back in 2012, after I moved home to Canada from teaching English in South Korea. I was folding a lot of origami at the time, and when my Aunt asked me to turn a pair into earrings, I gave it a try—and I was hooked! One pair quickly turned into many, and before I knew it, FoldIT Creations was born.
Today, I handcraft each piece in my home studio using fine silver and beautiful Japanese chiyogami papers, blending traditional origami with modern jewelry design. I also like to create original origami-inspired enamel pins, stickers and prints—drawing on my Fine Arts background from Concordia University in Montreal. Whether I’m at my workbench, doodling on my iPad or out at a weekend market, I love sharing this little art form that all started with a single hand-folded paper crane.
