About Beads n’ Brew

My name is Cheyenne Faulkner, and I’m a Lumbee & Shoshone-Bannock beadwork artist living in San Diego, California. For the past five years, I’ve been running my beadwork business, Beads By Chey Designs, but now it’s time for a new adventure.

I’m currently in the process of building my very own coffee trailer, with hopes of being in operation in 2026. With Beads n’ Brew, my goal is to bring together two of my passions—beadwork and latte making—while creating a space that feels welcoming and community-centered.

I’m also excited to share parts of my Native culture with the greater community and bring some of my Lumbee traditions with me here to the West Coast. Through coffee, craft, and connection, I hope to create something that brings people together.

I can’t wait to share this journey with you all!
