My Journey in Jewelry Design
Early Beginnings
My passion for jewelry began in childhood, but it wasn’t until 2009 that I transformed that love into a craft. What started as stringing beads and wire-wrapping at weekend craft shows in Tampa, Florida, soon revealed the unpredictable joys and challenges of the art. A storm at my final show swept my jewelry into a field, prompting a fresh start rooted in creative inspiration. I realized I needed a new approach to keep the joy in my craft alive.
A New Chapter
Everything changed when I joined a local mineral and science club. Silversmithing unlocked new ways to shape shimmering metals, while lapidary arts ignited a love for cutting, polishing, and setting stones I’d shaped myself. This discovery continues to fuel my creativity and drive every piece I design.
Evolving Craftsmanship
I’ve expanded my skills to include enameling, texturing, broom casting, inlay, and more, always inspired by the unusual pattern in my stones, metal textures, and even details from the natural world or a striking piece of clothing. My jewelry doesn’t fit into a single style—each piece is a reflection of a mood or moment. This diversity means my jewelry doesn’t follow a single style—making every creation unique.
A Labor of Love
Every creation is born from genuine passion and care. I craft jewelry to bring joy to myself and those who wear it, hoping each piece sparks the same delight I feel making it. I hope you find as much delight in my creations as I do in bringing them to life.
