designing jewelry while managing a bead and jewelry store, developing what would later become the <strong>Taisteal<\/strong> brand. The name means <strong>\u201ctravel\u201d in Irish<\/strong>, reflecting Crowe\u2019s inspiration from different cultures and lifestyles around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her early success came through local markets and trade shows, where customers could watch the jewelry-making process firsthand. These face-to-face interactions helped build a loyal audience and established the brand among independent retailers nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abbot Kinney pop-up allowed Crowe to return to that
