At the heart of my creative journey is a deep passion for custom jewelry design, rooted in years of hands-on experience and artistic growth. As a designer with a background in Applied Design and a dedicated silversmith apprenticeship, I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that tell a story and reflect each client's unique style.

Expertise in Custom Jewelry Design

My journey in custom jewelry design began with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Design from San Diego State University, where I honed my skills in both traditional and contemporary design techniques. I later completed a seven-year apprenticeship under a master jeweler in San Diego, which deepened my understanding of metalsmithing and craftsmanship. These experiences allow me to bring both technical precision and creative flair to every piece I create.

Publications & Recognition

My custom jewelry designs have been featured in leading publications such as Vogue, Elle, InStyle, and JCK Magazine, which showcase my commitment to quality, innovation, and artistry. These features have recognized my ability to blend bold, modern elements with timeless craftsmanship, making each piece a wearable work of art.
