My journey into jewelry making began with a curiosity that led me to enroll in a metalsmithing class.

From the first strike of the hammer to the flame of the torch, and shaping of wire - creating jewelry resonated with me. What began as exploration ignited a spark that I wanted to fully embrace.

I devoted myself to learning, teaching myself new techniques, experimenting with different forms that allowed my work to evolve. It was in this place where skill and patience met - it challenged me and revealed a side of creativity I hadn't realized I was searching for that opened a door I felt called to follow.

Much of my inspiration comes from the natural world - textures noticed in passing, subtle patterns in everyday objects. I sketch, reimagine them, letting each encounter form the foundation of what jewelry can become.

The expression rooted in craftmanship is the reason I create. The ability to transform materials into adornments with a timeless presence that captures a moment for the wearer as they move through their days.

Creating is my story and continues to unfold. It’s reflecting on my journey that reminds me where I began, the path that brought me here, and the endless source of inspiration that guides me in each piece that is made.
