More on Megan Kaltenbach

This is Tory here! I had a great shoot yesterday with Fashion Denver client, Megan Kaltenbach. She makes wonderful custom jewelry. Definitely be sure to check out her website!  Not only are her pieces one of a kind and super customizable, she is also a sweet, bubbly and active entrepreneur. Watch out for her work and most of all, think about purchasing some of her pieces for weddings, holiday gifts or even a treat for yourself!

I sadly wasn’t a part of the Fashion Denver team back in June, but was lucky enough to meet Megan Kaltenbach for a meeting last week to see where the talented jewelry designer is now – months after her successful trunk show.

I wanted to meet Megan for multiple reasons.  One reason being that her jewelry is AMAZING.  Second reason being that, like me, she was a student-athlete in college striving towards a future in fashion.

If you don’t know about Megan Kaltenbach, trust me: you want to.

Quick Background:

Megan moved to Colorado at the age of four and later went on to attend Smoky Hill High School where she excelled in track.  And when I say she excelled I mean, she excelled. She collected 14 State Titles, was inducted into the Colorado Women’s Sports Hall of Fame and was awarded a scholarship to the University of North Carolina where she was a 2-time NCAA champion.
