awn Rozakis, friends call her D., is the president and chief designer here at Ghostlove. She began cultivating her crafting skills at a very young age, taking various painting, drawing and ceramics classes to amuse herself. She was always making something... or breaking something to create something new. In college, D. majored in graphic design and took several studio courses where her fine art skills flourished. She always found her greatest muse in the darker side of art and composition. Anything creepy or macabre was somehow beautiful, romantic and lovely. At that time, D. also began designing jewelry and clothing. This was mostly for fun or to give as gifts to friends, but it was still something that gave her a great sense of accomplishment. People would often stop her and ask, “Where did you buy that?” and she would proudly respond, “I made it!”

After many years of working stressful and physically exhausting retail jobs, she found herself wanting a more rewarding career. She dreamt of starting her own company where she could be creative every day and get paid doing it. In 2008, D. partnered with her longtime friend and beau, Ghost, to help make this dream a reality. Ghostlove, Inc. was officially established in April of 2008. D’s vision for the company was to use her talent and fine art aesthetic to create affordable wares for the modern Gothic wardrobe, infusing elements of Classic Lolita, Steampunk, Couture Noir, and Victoriana... all with artful taste and stunning presentation. Today, D. has sold over 1,800 pieces of jewelry in her initial etsy shop, launched the official Ghostlove website and continues to grow a loyal customer following all over the world. Ghostlove.com
