Since 2004, I’ve been passionately handcrafting each piece of jewelry in my Northern Indiana studio. My work, which features gold, silver, and a variety of semi-precious and precious stones, blends organic and modern aesthetics. I find inspiration in the natural imperfections and irregularities that reflect the beauty of nature. Whether it’s the striking uniqueness of an unusual stone or the textured surface of handcrafted metal, I infuse each piece with this natural vision. I’m captivated by the unexpected beauty in nature—like the delicate petals of a flower, each one unique and stunning in its own right.

Although I’ve always had a deep passion for art and fashion, I was initially encouraged to pursue a more conventional career. After graduating from college, I moved to Hawaii on a whim and fell deeply in love with the island’s natural beauty. Upon returning to the Midwest, I discovered metalsmithing through a local museum class, and instantly felt that I had found my true calling. Combining my love for fashion with my relaxed, grounded nature, I set out to create jewelry that is not only beautiful but versatile enough for everyday wear. My designs are meant to be effortlessly worn with a favorite pair of jeans and a tee, yet also serve as a perfect complement to more dressed-up looks.

Today, while I spend most of my time with my family in the Midwest, I frequently retreat to my Maui home, where the natural world I cherish continues to inspire my work. If you value jewelry that reflects the beauty of nature and offers versatility for various occasions, I hope you’ll find a special connection with my creations.
