My name is Ruth A. Muñiz. The Universal Inspirations by Bazillionheir brand was born unexpectedly from a desperate attempt to effectively heal from a severely traumatic physical assault in 2014 that nearly destroyed me (which triggered previously unresolved trauma/PTSD from assaults during childhood, an assault from 2009, and then snowballed again from this event in 2014 on through 2018). As I reached for my personal little crystals that I always kept on or near me since childhood, a hammer and a little bit of used copper wire, I discovered that I could literally hammer out the pain. Something inside of me flickered, became warm and bright, and I was suddenly able to spring forth my personal visions of love, peace, and forgiveness...all manifested into physical matter, and into wearable art. Almost immediately, people began to take notice, stating that my art made them “feel” one way or another and that they desired to carry that with them throughout their days. It wasn't too long after that I began selling my personal, handmade crystal jewelry right off my body. The wonderful feeling of sharing my positive energy with others grew on me. As did my pursuit. 

I’m now creeping up on the three year mark since I first began teaching myself this craft completely by scratch (without a single class to date). After honing and perfecting certain little techniques through trial and error (that I feel help me stand out from the crowd a bit), I find myself now in the stages of expanding my knowledge base regarding creative technique, crystal & mineral specimens, and metaphysical applications for greater efficiency and increased workmanship/quality, while continuing to grow my brand.
