About Us

White Tide Designs is a supplier of one-of-a-kind oyster shell creations made by Deanna Miller. It is based in Okatie, South Carolina and sold locally.

I, Deanna, am a mother, grandmother, artist, maker and gatherer and I enjoy creating something everyday. My oyster shell designs are a reflection of the natural world; specifically the Lowcountry. After spending the last 35 years moving frequently around the world with the military and other professions, we decided to make our retirement home in the Lowcountry - Okatie, South Carolina. I live with my husband and our lab; Salty. We love to go out on the boat to explore the white sandy beaches, cast a line or collect seashells. I am grateful for the beauty of where I live every day, and I've found sharing it in my creations only deepens my appreciation.
