I have been creating jewelry since 2014—a combination self-taught and formal metalsmith training. Each new wrap or earring design shows me something new, which is the beauty and privilege of creating. Metalsmithing continues to grow me as an artist with each light of the torch and strike of the hammer. I am often inspired by the wonderful souls who enjoy my jewelry and the stories behind each piece.

My designs are a Bohemian-Zen take on ancient European and African jewelry, reflecting my own familial ethnicities. Earrings and rings are hand-forged of brass, sterling, bronze, copper and natural stones. Wraps (an adaptive combination of necklace and bracelet) use handmade beads and stones, from many different countries, with varying levels of intricacy. Each wrap allows the wearer to style it as a relaxed choker, necklace, or bracelet stack, using an American made magnet and heavy-duty stringing wire. This combination creates a unique piece of jewelry allowing the wearer to express their style at the moment, while remaining grounded and without pretense.
