Meet The Team
Raynie Hunter
Founder & Designer
Hi, I’m Raynie — Founder of Beadiful Vibes.
I started Beadiful Vibes in 2018 after making a life-changing decision to switch careers. Around that time, I discovered beadwork — and instantly fell in love. It became my way to express myself creatively and connect with my roots.
In 2021, I launched the BV Inspo Box to build a supportive, encouraging community of beadwork artists who inspire one another to grow and create fearlessly.
When I’m not beading, you can usually find me exploring new restaurants and coffee shops, going for scenic drives, or snapping way too many photos of the sky.
Gabrielle Helene Coulter
Program Coordinator/Fascilitator
Gabrielle Hélène is a choreographer, yogi, life coach, and bead artist living on unceded Mi'kmaq territory. A lifelong lover of creativity, vintage treasures, and upcycling, Gabrielle finds joy in transforming the old into something new and meaningful.
She began beading about four years ago as a form of therapy to support the symptoms of a neurological disorder affecting the motor skills in her hands — and what started as healing has since grown into a deep passion and artistic practice that continues to light her up every day.
Tawnna Dibkey
Assistant/Shipping Fulfillment
Before joining the Beadiful Vibes family, I worked fulfilling orders at Amazon—a role that taught me structure, discipline, and organization. But while it kept me busy, it didn’t fill my spirit the way this work does. Here, I’ve found something deeper: a community rooted in creativity & connection.
At Beadiful Vibes, I take care in fulfilling orders and keeping our inventory balanced and organized. But beyond the tasks, I see every order as part of something bigger—sharing the beauty, meaning, and spirit of Indigenous artistry with others. I love bringing positive energy to the Beadiful Vibes community. This isn’t just work to me—it’s a way to honor culture and the beautiful energy that flows through everything we do.
I believe my purpose is to inspire others and help in any way I can. I’m a proud mother of three (including one fur baby), and together we love to fish, camp, and hike. Traveling is one of my greatest joys—especially long road trips that let us explore new places and make lasting memories.
Shannon Louden
Resident Artist/Pattern Specialist
Shannon Louden (Miller) is an Ojibwe artist who specializes in beading from Lac Courte Oreilles. Her work blends traditional woodland floral motifs with cosmic elements, bringing together teachings of the natural world and contemporary stories.
She began beading as a way to reconnect with culture, community, and family, which grew into Sugar Pine Beads LLC. Today, she shares earrings, regalia pieces, and beadwork templates each created with gratitude, love, and the intention to honor Ojibwe woodland ways.
🌿 Fun fact: Shannon has harvested her own porcupine quills and wild turkey feathers to use in her work. Her recent harvest ended up in the ditch and had to ask for help from a community member to get her out.

I can’t start my day without an iced vanilla latte, and when I’m not creating, you’ll find me spending time with friends, lending a hand on the farm, or enjoying great food.
