I started making jewelry because I became fascinated by the challenge of creating a piece that is truly well made, without shortcuts or compromises.

The combination of design, precision and craftsmanship is what drew me in. Along the way, I studied diamonds, gemstones and jewelry at the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), where I completed the Applied Jewelry Professional (AJP) program. I enjoy the process of turning an idea into a finished piece, from selecting the right stones to developing the design and its details.

As a designer, I find inspiration far beyond jewelry. Architecture, art, the symmetry of animals and forms found in nature can all become starting points for a design. I enjoy taking these references and developing them into something of my own.

What makes jewelry most meaningful to me is what a piece can mean to the person wearing it. It can carry a memory, mark a moment or simply become something deeply personal.
