Fun Fact

NINE represents not only my absolute favorite number but it is endowed with the gift to serve others, people with the lucky number 9 are able to freely create an easy and relaxed atmosphere. They make people around them laugh and encourage them to live a colorful life. With an inborn free soul, many people with this number never stop weaving their dreams, and are very rich in imagination. This holds true on so many levels and I am proud to call my store NINE.

I have called New York home my entire life. It has instilled hard work, a sense of purpose to create, and allowed me to stay grounded. But somehow the Southwest holds the core to my existence. From my iconic turquoise & silver cuffs I dote everyday to the rich textures that embody the Arizona desert which are found throughout the store & the warm tone sunsets that I could gaze at for hours were the perfect backdrop to paint my blank canvas - these are the elements that inspired me to create NINE BY ASH!

New York is strong, fearless, and symbolizes resilience which also plays a huge part in who I am. Western Americana has always symbolized freedom, hope, and work ethic. It is a place that is at once wild, rugged and raw and yet utterly peaceful; rich in unrivaled beauty, history, art, and culture. I am constantly humbled by the natural beauty of what I call home but will forever be drawn to the West.

February 2021, a spark ignited. It has been my lifelong dream to own something, whether it was a coffee shop, a flower shop or a clothing store... fast forward a few months later and I was able to bring all three loves of mine to life. It is truly a blessing to bring forth my talents for all to see and appreciate. I have committed to serving this community to my best abilities and to constantly inspire myself to never stop creating and evolving as an individual.

I believe in sourcing products that feel incredible to the touch yet continue to be worn in a classic way. Quality, US made, thoughtful details, created with a sense of pride and purpose are what I look for when buying for my store. To be lived in and loved today and passed onto future generations.

It has been a wild ride to get to this very moment in my beautiful life but I believe every twist, turn, leap and obstacle has led me exactly where I am today. I hope y'all continue to join me on this journey of NINE with me. I wouldn't be here without all the love and support from everyone I have met along the way. thank you- here's to you!
