When I was five, I went fishing with my dad and brother. As unfortunate as it may sound, my dad accidentally hooked me while casting his line. I was watching the fish in the lake when I suddenly felt a tug on my head. Oddly enough, I don’t recall feeling any pain or distress. What I do remember is catching a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror admiringly on the way to the hospital, . I had a lovely feathered lure hanging down from the side of my head, and thought I looked like a mythical princess. Looking back, I do believe my love of adornment started then and there.
Born and raised in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, I have honed my craft under the guidance of master jewelers over many years.
Each piece is conceived as a wearable work of art. Inspired by organic forms and the colors of the natural world, my designs focus on the balance of strength and femininity while remaining timeless and modern. On my site, you can find works in sterling silver, Nu-gold brass, gold fill, and semi-precious stones, blending materials in thoughtful ways that highlight texture and form. With a background in cultural anthropology, I try to bring a global perspective to adornment, infusing every piece with meaning and artistry.
I hope to create pieces that inspire joy, confidence, and personal expression. I want to foster a connection between the wearer and the natural world, highlighting the beauty of organic forms and thoughtful design. Beyond the aesthetics, I aim to support a community that values craftsmanship, sustainability, and the stories behind handmade work—encouraging others to appreciate the care, creativity, and artistry that go into each piece. Ultimately, I hope my work sparks meaningful connections, whether between people, with nature, or with the art of adornment itself.
