Tanager was founded by Leigh, an award-winning designer and artist whose deep love for birds and nature has been the heartbeat of her creative journey. With a background in fine arts and product design, she has always been drawn to the intricate beauty of the natural world. Her fascination with birds, in particular, has inspired her to capture their vibrant colors, delicate forms, and symbolic meanings through her work.

Driven by a passion to merge art with nature, Leigh founded Tanager as a way to share her unique vision. Each piece in the collection is a reflection of her artistic eye and meticulous craftsmanships are wearable works of art that celebrate the beauty of the world around us. With a dedication to eco-friendly practices and ethical sourcing, she ensures that every pair of earrings is made with care—for both the wearer and the planet.
