I am a jewelry designer, practicing metal smith, occasional writer, and lifetime student. I love to find & re-purpose vintage & antique elements of personal adornment. My goal is to create precious, durable, heirloom quality, truly wearable, art.

I have been making jewelry, in one form or another, since high school. My path to this craft has included formal illustration training, many metal smithing classes (taught by generous and gifted instructors), and tons of practice.

I have an amazing family and, with them, I live and work in gorgeous, sunny California. I'm so grateful to get to do this thing I love....
