Kilobyte Couture

Hello. My name is Brittany Forks, and I have the blog/ store Kilobyte Couture. I began Kilobyte Couture in May 2006 after finding a box of resistors, and thinking "There has got to be something really cool I can do with these." After thinking it over for a while I decided jewelry would be the ideal product. I made a few earrings, and put them on Etsy.com and people really enjoyed the pieces I made. My friends also took a liking to them, and put in several orders for themselves and as gifts. In late 2006 I decided to to make the jump to my own online store and blog. So here I am.

I really enjoy all things nerdy, geeky, and a little off center. I focus all this super geek power into the jewelry I make. I try to stay current with the trends to make my jewelry relevant for the fashion focused nerd. I also try to make simple and elegant pieces, because not everybody is a fashionista. I am constantly thinking of new products and pieces, and different variations of the pieces I already sell. I am extremely open to custom/special orders, and more than happy to chat about any idea.

This past spring I was contacted by Watson-Guptill Publishing to write a tutorial book on my jewelry. Last April I signed the contract, and have begun the writing process and expect to have it complete by August. The book will feature 25 all new projects and is expected to be released Fall 2008.
