Neon Birch Works
Tammy Beers
Anishinaabe/Chippewa, Rama First Nation
Neon Birch Works is a jewellery and accessories brand owned by Anishinaabe/Chippewa multimedia artist, surface pattern designer and jewellery designer Tammy Beers. Tammy is a proud member of Rama First Nations living, studying and working in Toronto.

Neon Birch Works can be worn by anyone but was created through an urban Indigenous lens. Tammy was taught to bead by Anishinaabe women back in the 90s but has created her own unique methods after decades of experience. Many years ago, a classmate at the University of Toronto taught Tammy to use a loom at First Nations House, this renewed her passion for beadwork and began her work as a designer.
Tammy is an accomplished entrepreneur, designer, and passionate advocate for both Indigenous and disabled artists. As the owner of Neon Birch Works, Tammy has built a thriving business that specializes in providing unique, custom designs to individuals and businesses alike. With a commitment to originality, Neon Birch Works is a go-to choice for those seeking exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces, whether for personal or commercial use. Neon Birch Works is regularly featured in advertisements for Cheekbone Beauty, as the designer and creator of their beaded brand banner.
At the heart of Tammy's mission is a deep passion for supporting and promoting Indigenous-owned businesses while working to expand the Indigenous economy. Tammy is also a dedicated advocate for disabled artists, using her platform to push for better representation and rights for disabled creators in the art world. As a disabled artist herself, Tammy understands the importance of embracing what makes them different and encourages others to do the same—believing that diverse perspectives and experiences lead to the most unique and powerful art.
Neon Birch Work is now featured in jewelry stores across Ontario, and the business is steadily expanding into other provinces. Fiercely protective of artists' rights, Tammy is a staunch advocate for artist copyright protections and fair compensation for Indigenous business owners. Tammy is committed to ensuring that Indigenous entrepreneurs receive a living wage for their work and are fairly compensated for their creativity and labor. Tammy wants Indigenous artists and businesses to believe in a future where fair pay is the norm. We can only achieve this goal together!
