About Me

Creating jewelry is where I feel at home and aligned with myself. Balancing art and science, every piece I make considers the properties of the materials I work with. The material dictates the art, guiding the process to ensure the best possible product—one that will last a lifetime.

To me, jewelry is the most intimate form of adornment, rich with personal meanings and stories. Each piece carries significance, whether it marks a memorable trip or symbolizes a cherished occasion. I believe that art acts as a conduit, bridging the gap between creator and wearer, allowing them to discover a sense of confidence and identity through wearable art.

I hold a formal education in art history and fine art from Loyola University Chicago, where I wrote my thesis on the art jewelry movement, exploring the intersectionality of creativity and wearable art. Born in Chicago, I am a lifelong creator deeply influenced by my diverse ancestral roots to New Mexico, Ireland, Acadia, and Poland.

I reside in the Chicagoland area with my husband, our cat Grover, and our two spoiled pups, Trinity and Mabel. I am dedicated to continuing my journey in creating jewelry that connects deeply with people, allowing them to carry a piece of art that belongs to them.
