We recently had the chance to connect with Alisha Battenfield and have shared our conversation below.
Alisha , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Rebuilding my brand, designing and making jewelry is my outlet.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Jewelry by Maetrix is more than jewelry—it’s a story of resilience, healing, and transformation.
Designer Alisha Mae began creating pieces over a decade ago, during one of the hardest seasons of her life. After losing her father and going through heartbreak, she turned to jewelry-making as a way to process grief and rebuild her spirit. What started as a quiet hobby soon grew into something greater—first showcased at craft shows, then at festivals, and eventually finding its place on fashion runways.
But the journey was not without setbacks. After a devastating house fire destroyed everything, Alisha was faced with a choice: to stop creating, or to rebuild from the ashes. She chose the latter. Jewelry by Maetrix was reborn—stronger, braver, and more meaningful than ever.
Each piece is handcrafted with intention, carrying echoes of survival, transformation, and beauty born from struggle. Wearing Jewelry by Maetrix is more than adornment—it’s an act of resilience, a reminder that even in our hardest moments, we can rise, rebuild, and shine.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My father
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
After losing everything in the devastating house fire.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My family, my dreams, my goals
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What will you regret not doing?
Following my dreams.
