About the Founder

My name's Francesca Salussolia, I set up and run Hello Beads. I have always been interesting in beading. At the early age of about 7 my mother introduced me to the hobby and since then I have always been making jewellery and other beaded items. I have found memories of spending much of my childhood hunting down the prettiest beads that I could find and continually produce new creations! I would create so much jewellery that I didn't know what to do with it all! So my mum would help me convert our house into a small market for the day and invite all her friends to come and buy the jewellery for charity.

As I grew up I started to explore my creative talents in more depth culminating in studying a degree in Design. On leaving university with a First Class BA Honors there were few truly creative jobs on offer so I settle working in the house building industry for several years. Through out this time I continued to make several items of jewellery until one morning I just woke up and decided that I wanted to start a bead shop! And so here we are...
