"My name is Nova Lee and I am the founder of iLit Designs, where I merge fashion, jewelry, and craftsmanship. As a polymath artist, live painter, Airforce veteran, and Music Artist/DJ, my path has been one of creative evolution. After serving as an Aircraft Inspector, I transitioned into live painting at events, which led me to discover a passion for wearable art. In 2017, I launched iLit Designs, creating jewelry that reflects nature inspired aesthetics and meaningful craftsmanship. Despite health challenges like Degenerative Disk Disease, Fibromyalgia and PTSD, I channel my experiences into my work, using my journey to inspire resilience and healing through art."
Since launching iLit Designs in 2017, Nova’s bold and intricate creations have captivated audiences, culminating in her debut on the runway at Denver Fashion Week in 2019. Known for blending industrial and mystical winged elements, her pieces reflect her diverse background. This year, 2024 she graces Milan, Italy; Artistar Jewelry Week showcasing her latest design trends as an Exhibitor representing the United States![](https://assets.bigcartel.com/assets/2104524/4434F3B3-102D-44D2-BCC0-B860C07DB824.jpeg?w=2400&h=2400&fit=clip)
