I recently designed a few pieces for the Fall Fashion Week MN show, Coalesce 1922, presented by @coalescecollectivemn. Here is one of the necklaces assessorising the work of Suree Sompamitwong.

My Story
My name is Peter Mielech. I'm an Asian American, 3rd generation woodworker and jewelry designer from Saint Paul, MN. I work mostly in found and upcycled wood with resin, creating unique, wearable art.
As a studio art major in college I had an interest in many mediums, ending up focusing on graphic design. I started my graphic design career over 20 years ago working in a variety of agencies and industries, from sports and music, to consumer packaging, footwear, and display design.
The pandemic quickly turned my hobby into a business and now I’ve transitioned the 9-5 grind into a 24/7 passion. I love seeing my work around town in stores and on people. I’m learning and improving every day, and the fluid nature of this arts community keeps me excited and humble.
