Members are committed to continuous work toward a healthy future, inside and out.

The Oasis Alliance (OA) is dedicated to brightening the lives of trauma survivors by co-designing personalized spaces that encourage and support recovery, growth, and mental well-being. Most people believe that interior design is a luxury. We believe that interior design is an underutilized tool to empower, encourage and resurrect people at their lowest point. When we live in personalized spaces that affirm our humanity, we feel important—a major first step in moving past trauma and loss.

Colby Shelton Byrd is the founder and designer of Shelton Metal, a sculptural jewelry and home collection inspired by the mystery, history, and enduring beauty of the sea. Since establishing the brand in 2013, Byrd has become known for creating timeless objects that blur the line between functional design and collectible sculpture.
Originally trained in architecture, art, and design, with additional studies in metalsmithing in Italy, Byrd approaches every collection through the lens of sculpture. Each piece begins as an original hand carving, drawing inspiration from shell fragments, weathered metals, barnacles, coral, and the imagined treasures of long-forgotten shipwrecks. The result is a collection of jewelry, flatware, barware, cabinetry hardware, and home objects that celebrate organic form, exceptional craftsmanship, and lasting quality.
Built on the belief that everyday objects should carry meaning, Shelton Metal creates modern heirlooms designed to be collected, used, and passed down for generations. Today, the brand is carried by Bloomingdale's, Anthropologie, Tuckernuck, and more than 85 specialty retailers nationwide, while continuing to produce custom commissions and collaborations for private clients, designers, and hospitality projects.
From his North Carolina studio, Byrd continues to expand Shelton Metal into a lifestyle brand where every piece tells a story—bringing together artistry, function, and a spirit of discovery inspired by the treasures found beneath the sea.
