I am a designer and metalsmith, shaping contemporary heirloom jewelry from recycled precious metals. Each piece begins with a hand drawn illustration, then comes to life through ancient techniques like chasing and repoussé or more unconventional methods such as hand sawing, followed by either inlaying the delicate form or carving into it. The result creates richly textured sculptures meant to be touched, worn and lived in. Inspired by myth, magic, fantasy and science, each piece serves as a personal talisman, ripe with meaning and worn as an intimate part of your everyday story.
