Outside.  In nature.  In the mountains. Where my soul finds rest.  Ancient cultures, who celebrated life through art and design. Artisans, who forged metal and forged a way.  My free-spirited father who homeschooled me in a retrofitted school bus, and taught me to dream big and embrace my inner hippie.  My mother and grandmother, made their own rules and broke through glass ceilings, showing me how to love fiercely and embrace my own strength. These are the things that shape me, inspire me, and flow through me in my designs.   Here you will find thoughtfully crafted jewelry, inspired by nature, that celebrate the small moments in life.  The moments that remind you of who you are and your own unique, natural beauty.

My journey actually began with a terribly impulsive decision. While waiting tables, an extremely rude customer prompted me to spontaneously quit my waitress job.  In a moment of pure desperation, I decided to start selling my jewelry. As I fell more and more in love with the process of making, a whole new path was born. I dropped out of graduate school and signed up for a metals class.  I was hooked. Like, obsessively, starry eyed hooked. I found myself fascinated by the ancient techniques of metalsmithing, connecting me to a lineage of metalsmiths who have gone before me. My fascination with stones, color and ancient designs only grew stronger.  From there, I went on to achieve a degree as a goldsmith, giving me the skills needed to make all the beautiful things floating around in my head.
