About

My journey into jewelry began while backpacking through Latin America.
What started as a simple hobby quickly evolved into a profound passion as I immersed myself in the artistry and techniques of local jewelry makers. Driven by a deep curiosity to explore diverse cultures and uncover unique gemstones, I embarked on a decade-long journey across four continents, learning directly from master artisans who generously shared their traditions and expertise.

Each encounter deepened my understanding of the craft and inspired me to weave these global influences into my designs. Today, I work from my apartment in New York City, where I meticulously handcraft each piece with a commitment to preserving the cultural stories and artistic sensibilities that have shaped my path.

My designs reflect the technical skills honed during my travels and the rich tapestry of experiences that continue to guide my creative process. After returning to New York, I studied Jewelry Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I also worked as a Lab Technician and was honored with the Art Smith Memorial Scholarship.
