Forms Inspired

In my Hyattsville, Maryland studio, I craft jewelry that bridges the traditional and the experimental, designed for the fashionably modern. My work explores abstract themes, drawing deep inspiration from the natural world and archaeology. The dynamic meeting of land and water, the patient forces of erosion, and the intricate language of topographic lines fuel my creative vision. I seek out both familiar and far-flung landscapes, both vibrant and weathered, to inform my designs.

Using a blend of new and recycled sterling silver, karat gold, gemstones, and Tyvek, I combine classic jewelry-making techniques with modern laser cutting and CAD design. My aim is to create pieces that evoke a sense of place, acting as personal talismans that anchor you to your own cherished memories.

Because sometimes, a single piece of jewelry can transport you—to a moment, a memory, a sense of self—connecting you to the world around you.

My studio is currently quiet as I navigate a period of personal change. I am deeply grateful for your continued curiosity and engagement with my work and look forward to the day when I can once again share the stories and inspirations that fuel my jewelry. I anticipate a return to my studio when life settles, and I thank you for your understanding.

Beyond the studio, you’ll probably find me out in the open water, enjoying a swim!

I hold a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Connecticut and an M.F.A. in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design from Indiana University, Bloomington.
