About Me
Hi!
I'm Chesson, and I am the owner and founder behind Blitz Beads! I started Blitz in 2018 to keep myself busy during the summer. Who knew it would turn into something so integral to who I am today? Seven years in, I’ve found nothing but joy in handcrafting and designing each piece for you!

Blitz's Story
2018: I founded Blitz in the summer as a creative outlet and way to express myself through jewelry design. I began a Birthday Parties Program where I taught young girls to make their own jewelry!
2019: As I continued to grow through both sales and revenue, I learned more about running a business and built my first website! Launched the "Blitz Babes" ambassador program, connecting girls across the nation with Blitz.
2020: COVID hit and I began to spend more and more time on Blitz. Celebrated three years with (at the time) record sales.
2021: First full year of managing high school with a business taught me more than I have ever learned about time management! I was also able to land my first Pop-Up Shop at a boutique in Chapel Hill, NC.
2022: Continued to launch new pieces, establish my brand, and discover more places that would sell my pieces. Decided that I wanted to do more with my business, and started the "Teen Entrepreneurship Club" at my school.
2023: This was the first year that Blitz sold in ALL FIFTY STATES - such an awesome feeling. I began a consignment program and sold Blitz in stores full time!
2024: Senior year of high school brought up lots of questions about what I aimed to accomplish with Blitz in college, but I ultimately decided to continue! Landed my first Trunk Show at Love Shack Fancy - a relationship I am so grateful for.
2025: So much to do & so much to come!!!!
