TekChick Designs

Can you imagine your daughter becoming an entrepreneur at just 13 years old? Taylor Burghard created TekChick Designs at just that age to prove that young girls can be both stylish and smart. She designs and creates jewelry using recycled computer parts, like old laptop keyboards or RAM pieces.

Taylor, whose parents ran a Mac store, put her surroundings to good use and launched TekChick creatively and stylishly using the objects she found in her midst. She remains active in school and in extra-curricular activities while promoting TekChick products.

TekChick offers a variety of pre-made earrings with key combinations that make phrases like “GR8 MOM” and “LOVE.” You can also send a custom order to purchase your own combination of letters and symbols for just $12.95 per pair. You can purchase the custom jewelry directly from the TekChick website.
