Hello, my name is AJ Gibboney. I work with the media team at RETCo. I moved to Nashville about a year and half ago for filmmaking and I met the RETCo. group in December of 2010. I began volunteering my time by editing videos and soon became excited about the vision Travis and the team had to help and connect with these communities on the other side of the world. After several months of volunteering, we saw the great potential in using media to share the stories of the lives that are changed by supporting these artisans.

Our trip in January will focus on the collaboration between the artisans and our awesome designers, Evan and Katy. We will be showing how the jewelry pieces are conceived and designed, and how we get to work directly with the people that make them. I can’t wait to start sharing those stories with you. Stay tuned for lots of new features, stories and new products for the upcoming year!

AJ
