Alejandra Garcia

 

Switzerland, 2022

I’m Alejandra Garcia, the founder of Moon & Milk, a handcrafted jewelry brand rooted in women's empowerment, Mexican culture, and high-quality craftsmanship. I was born and raised in Los Angeles to immigrant parents from Mexico, and my work is shaped by living between cultures and questioning the systems that define who gets access to autonomy, safety, and creative ownership.

I was the first in my family to attend college, earning a degree in Social Science from California State University, Chico. My time in college was eye-opening, and it continues to impact how I approach both design and business. Education, financial independence, and self-determination are not abstract ideals to me, but lived priorities that guide the way I build my work and my brand.

Through the ancestral practice of beading, I create one-of-a-kind, small-batch earrings made slowly and deliberately. Moon & Milk exists outside of mass production. My production process values time, skill, and craftsmanship, and most importantly, the people who make it.

Moon & Milk has grown into a global, community-driven brand, connecting with women who seek depth, cultural resonance, and integrity in what they wear. I continue to build Moon & Milk with the long-term vision of supporting women through craft, creative independence, and access to financial independence.
