Evolution of a Name
Making jewelry started out as a fun, curious hobby, but has grown into a serious passion. At my best, the pieces I design and craft reflect two core drives I found in myself - on one hand - pragmatic, scientific, knowledge-driven, on the other - a dreamer, full of emotion and creativity begging to be expressed. These drives that seem like they should be at war, but instead can compliment and accentuate each other. My work as an artist and a metalsmith often has clear, simple lines and rich colors. I frequently think about the wonders of the cosmos when I design - both the fascinating science of it and how it feels to sit under the stars on a clear night and dream of what could be.
This is the story that I bring to each piece that I create - one that fills me with an ethereal clarity, brings me calm and excitement, inspiration and craftsmanship, inspires me to think hard and dream big. I hope the story that you find in my work is just as beautiful.
