Lana Nguyen grew up on the beaches of Southern California, spending hours exploring boho vintage shops and flea markets in Venice and Santa Monica during her high school days. This experience cultivated her appreciation for distinctive details and effortless, feminine design.

While in college, Lana worked as an assistant jewelry buyer at Fred Segal in Santa Monica before moving to NYC to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology. There, she was exposed to the modern and refined aesthetic of the East Coast and began designing for several renowned fashion brands.

Her designs have been sold to major retailers, including Fred Segal, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom.

Today, Lana draws inspiration from both the beach and the city, creating a unique aesthetic that blends bohemian and modern styles. LANA VIA is her independent jewelry line.
