About me...
I'm a northwest girl born in Seattle. I split my childhood between Seattle and Anchorage, but Seattle is really home.
I earned a BFA in Interior Design from the U of Idaho, Art & Architecture school, of witch I use many of the skills to this day.
I've always been a maker. It's a passion of mine to create, noon till night. I can't wait to design something new.
Developing my silversmithing skills just kept happening. It was a challenge that I was excited to take on. Having two generations of jewelers in the family never really occurred to me, until it all came together. I will always be learning and challenging myself to master a technique or try something new. I think that's part of the fascination of silversmithing. There is always something new to try, tools to use, or a torch to light.
Designing with all the elements of design is extremely important, but I have to say Color is my love. It's the colors and patterns that come from natural stones that complete the piece. The stones pull it all together and push my designs to a wonderful place of being unique.
Thank you for joining me in my creative journey and hope to see you soon!
