U-Ology by U-Niq! - Katina Washington on How I Wear It

Meet Katina Washington, the owner of Uology Brand, and the artist/creator of U~Niq Accessories.

Katina wears many hats and her biggest passion is creating beautiful custom designed pieces from a variety of materials. Here's how she got started, in her own words!

"With just a few dollars, I purchased a few supplies, and began to foster my love for art by creating a few accessories.

Initially, I would make accessories for myself and give them to family and friends. They loved them so much, they offered to buy them. I was humbled. To wear my own creations, and to see my accessories on others was priceless! I had finally found my niche!

I have always had a love for custom accessories and considered myself an artist, so U~Niq was birthed!

U~Niq accessories fulfilled my desire to bring my ideas into fruition. Each accessory that is created is a beautiful concoction of both my idea and personality".
