Components of jewelry design have had a presence throughout my life (though I wasn't always aware of it!). As a child, I was obsessed with rocks and small objects with unique, intricate shapes, colors and textures. 

After years of applying my undergraduate journalism degree and finding a love for metalsmithing - I pursued a degree in jewelry design, with a studio focus.

Employing my previous work experience with my formal training, I launched in May 2017 in Brooklyn and after moving to California in August 2019, I currently operate bi-costally between my Berkeley studio & NYC.

With an entrepreneurial spirit and desire to create, I'm driven by the lasting curiosity, wonderment and the tangible fantasy of jewelry.

My work is inspired by an intrinsic, utilitarian design. My pieces are modern and timeless; subtle, but distinguished; beautiful, yet functional and always sustainable.

I work exclusively with responsibly sourced materials, crafting each piece through sustainable practices. From reclaimed and conflict-free diamonds, post-consumer and ethically-mined precious and semi-precious gemstones, and domestically sourced stones for inlay and recycled golds.
