Tish McDermott comes from a family heritage of people whose lives were rich in art, design, music, and crafting. Creativity was essential to life and unconventional ideas were the norm. Fashion was individualistic and non-conformist. Early on she became aware that commercial jewelry was not readily available to accessorize the fashion sense of a non-traditional woman. The dynamics she envisioned in jewelry for women whose choices in clothing are found in a department store catalog or typical shopping mall needed to be created. Tish understands these womens needs.



Desiring to bring her own brand of artistic flair to the market place became the driving motivation for her company Just a Tish Designs When viewing the pieces, her philosophy is clearly recognized that jewelry should be disarming if necessary, to captivate the soul. Like a crowning touch, it should release the confident awareness of a womans regal beauty from within and make the statement, I know who I am. Taking this philosophy to heart, she began making the jewelry, started the business and the public has loved it ever since.



Tish's collection of jewelry pieces are carefully born from her love of the medium, like a spiritual offering from the earth of rich metals and minerals, whose vital properties strung together secure us to sacred origins and lift us to consecrated heights. Each piece in Just a Tish Designs , is constructed from elements in their purest form and complimented with unique design.
