I am the designer behind my eponymous jewelry line, aira h. As a natural creative, I fell in love with jewelry design, from making friendship bracelets that were synonymous with millennial “arm parties” of the early 2010s to my more refined style of today. Although my professional life mostly consists of crunching numbers and writing briefs for other brands, I always go back to jewelry-making. It’s a love affair. No matter where life takes me, I always go back to what grounds me—creating!

I take inspiration from my Filipino heritage and its traditional styles, blending organic, natural textures with intricate, structured elegance. Honoring my culture from pre-colonial to present, I bring with me lessons from my Filipino-American upbringing, prioritizing kindness and compassion with tenacious curiosity and courage through adversity—translating those values through my designs and this world I’m creating.
