I have always loved the creative process. I see details in everything, everywhere. I see the beauty in those details. I have always found gemstones and the jewelry that displays them to be fascinating and in some ways intoxicating. I have dedicated easily the last 15 to 20 years practicing the jewelry process. You could say I'm even obsessed about it. Besides my career, I do enjoy meeting the inte
resting and strange folk who call the bay area their home. I like to think it's the people who live here that attracted me all those years ago and keeps me here now. Also, this has nothing to do with jewelry, but I keep poison dart frogs as pets. They are the coolest coolest creatures. In 2004 I was able to go to jewelry school after years of talking about it and dreaming. Around 2006 I moved to the bay area for the first time. I could not get a job making jewelry and eventually found myself working for a company that hand made police badges. I ended up taking a job out of state which took me to Montana for a two-year distraction. My heart is in the bay and I could not stay away for long. With a greater skill set I was able to get a job and stay for good. I slowly purchased tools with any extra money I had over the course of many years. With those tools I was able to take work from local jewelry designers (work in my bedroom after a full day of work) and slowly build a reputation. It took a very long time to establish myself within the community of jewelers and artists out here who also call the Bay their home. About four or five years ago I was able to convert from working out of my bedroom into working in a private Studio entirely for myself full-time. Business has continued to grow since that moment. I am proud to say I am experienced, qualified and love what I do. It was fun getting here and I can't wait to work with you...
