Hello

Forms Inspired by Place, Memory, and Material
Based in Hyattsville, Maryland, I craft jewelry that bridges tradition and experimentation for people with a modern sense of style. My work is inspired by abstract ideas and the layered stories of landscapes, our archaeological past, and the objects humans shape over time. I’m drawn to the way land and water, erosion, and topographic lines become quiet narratives—these forces and forms find their way into pieces that evoke both place and memory.

Materiality is central to my practice. I see metals and other materials not just as media, but as collaborators, each with their own qualities and histories. This focus on materiality, combined with a process that freely mixes classic techniques and contemporary tools—like laser cutting and CAD design—lets me work with openness and curiosity. The resulting jewelry thoughtfully balances memory with a subtle connection to both natural and human‑made environments.

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. This background shapes how I approach objects, process, and context—viewing each piece not only as adornment, but as a small, wearable story shaped by time, place, and the maker’s hand.
