I am a self taught jewelry designer. I began creating theme and custom charm bracelets back in 1999, and eventually transitioned into beading after creating pearl charms for my charm bracelets. I now work with gemstones, pearls, silver, gold, and other various metals and components. I'm very interested in learning new design techniques, admiring the mixed media styles that incorporate vintage pieces, yet still very much in love with the elegance of simplicity.
