About Us
It's Me! Hi! I'm the Artist, it's me!
Hi there! I’m Jayde, the creator behind Jaded Painted. I’m a self-taught woodworker and resin artist, approaching my 30s with a passion for crafting one-of-a-kind pieces. Before Jaded Painted took off, I worked as a qualified fashion designer for brands like Cotton On and Ghanda. I like to think that my background in fashion helped pave the way for this creative journey.
I first experimented with resin in late 2019 after a breakup, starting with a resin starter kit. Then, when COVID lockdowns hit, I had the time and focus to dive deeper into the craft, developing the skills that so many of you now love! Almost two years ago, I took the leap and left my full-time job to pursue Jaded Painted—and I haven’t looked back since.
I take immense pride in hand-cutting all my boards (no CNC machines here!), crafting resin waves with incredible detail and depth, and offering unique color combinations. While ocean-inspired blues remain a bestseller, my signature pink, mint, and beige palettes have become a favorite for those seeking something different.
Originally from Geelong, Victoria, I moved to the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, for the stunning weather and relaxed lifestyle. It’s here I found Ruby, my Maltese Shih Tzu and constant companion. Ruby is the real star of the show, often joining me at markets and charming everyone she meets!
When I’m not working (which is rare), you’ll find me camping, 4WDing, listening to Taylor Swift or country music, or soaking up the beachside vibes with Ruby by my side.
Thank you for supporting my journey—I’m so excited to create something special for you!
