I love color. All my jewelry designs use color to tell a story – be it gemstones, pearls or metal. I will make the metal curve around a center stone then add surprising little pops of color on other surfaces. I’m always thinking about how this will look on a future customer: I keep my jewelry lines clean and elegant so the design will be versatile, wearable and have longevity for my customers.

I am influenced by the spring profusion of blossoming flowers around me, photographed to keep me busy year-round. This complicated simplicity drives my creativity. I strive to take the intricacies of a flower, abstract, and make the design elegantly wearable.
