Meet our founder
Hi, I'm Josie, the founder of Ishtora.
Travel has always been a huge part of who I am, not because it's "glamorous," but because it's been my biggest teacher. It's given me the ability to speak multiple languages as well as have an open-minded view of the world. Growing up in an international German school environment and spending many summers in Spain has exposed me to different cultures, ways of living and perspectives early on.
Those experiences have shaped how I see the world and have sparked a constant curiosity for what exists beyond what’s familiar. They've taught me that there’s more than one way to live, think, and dream. My background has left me with a deep sense of wanderlust and a desire to keep learning through people, places, and moments.
I wanted to reflect this in something tangible. I noticed that whenever I traveled somewhere, I would always buy a waterproof jewelry piece, something I could wear without thinking about it. As someone who loves being in the water, waterproof jewelry is essential to me. Over time, those pieces started to feel like small keepsakes, each tied to a place, a moment, or a manifestation of my next destination.
That’s where Ishtora comes in. Each piece is created as a keepsake; a way to mark where you’ve been, what you’re dreaming of, or the life you’re working toward. It’s something meant to start a conversation, hold meaning, and quietly represent the unfamiliar. Whether you’ve already seen the world or are just beginning to imagine it.
