Miriam Josi (Mimi) is a self taught designer. She was born in Berne, the capital of Switzerland. As a child, she already revealed her creativity in different artistic expressions like painting, sculpture, and photography.
Following a family tradition she studied education, then worked at an orphanage home in India and at a school in Switzerland before she decided to go abroad for further education in art.
In order to support her studies she worked as a model until this became another career for her. At that time she liked to wear jewelry pieces that she had created herself. Her designs soon attracted friends and other people from the fashion industry. This motivated her to produce more jewelry, start her own line and dedicate herself to her true passion: Design!
Miriam’s designs have been published in magazines such as Annabelle, Bolero, Caras, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Ocean Drive, Tiempo de Relojes and Vanidades, where she was recently featured on the Cover.
As an avid traveler Mimi knows no boundaries and introduces ideas that break the limits of conventional jewelry. In her work elements of art and fashion complement each other, reflecting her influence by both worlds.
