Hey there, I'm Allison Martinez—founder, designer, and heart behind Ocean Drift Design Shop. Based in the coastal town of Tequesta, Florida, I spend my days enjoying the sun, sand, and waters of Jupiter, Tequesta, and Juno Beach with my husband and kids. I'm also an elementary school teacher, a proud mom, and someone who finds endless inspiration in the natural beauty of the ocean.

My love for the sea started early, growing up in the small beach town of Venice, Florida. The sound of the waves, the treasures along the shoreline, and a constant seashell around my neck shaped not only my childhood, but also the creative path I walk today. Ocean Drift was born from this deep connection to the coast and my passion for crafting jewelry that tells a story.

Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted to reflect the calm, beauty, and raw elegance of the sea—made with natural gemstones, sea glass, shells, and other organic elements. Creating these pieces brings me peace and joy, and my hope is that they bring a little of that same feeling to you.

I'm so grateful for the love and support from my family, friends, and this incredible community. If I haven't met you, I hope to someday at one of my many local events.  Be sure to stop by and say hello! Thank you for being a part of my Ocean Drift journey.
