My passion for jewelry and creating with my hands began after taking my first Jewelry/Metalsmithing class in 9th grade.  I then pursued my love of design and fine craft through a degree from R.I.T's prestigious School for American Craftsmen in Rochester, NY. Over the ensuing years I have been given amazing opportunities to work side by side with some of the most talented master goldsmiths, designers, stone setters, artists, and craftspeople in the industry.  Every one of them have played an integral part in shaping who I have become as a master jeweler, artist and craftsperson. I feel extraordinarily grateful for their sharing of knowledge and opportunities that have accompanied me on my journey as an artist. 

I now create out of my own boutique jewelry design studio here in the extraordinarily beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.  In creating and designing my pieces, I aspire to accentuate the connection between the natural beauty all around us and the inner beauty of the wearer.
