I started making jewelry in high school after taking my first class, not thinking much of it at the time. It quickly turned into something I couldn’t step away from.

Now I spend as much time as I can at my bench, working with metal and stones and continuing to learn through both formal training and hands-on experience. I’m especially drawn to antique and vintage jewelry, and I bring those influences into my work through detail, texture, and techniques like hand engraving.

For me, jewelry is personal. I care about how a piece feels just as much as how it looks — something meant to be worn, kept, and passed on.
