My lighting journey began with a simple question, “can I make my cuffs into light shades?” From that success I started looking through my sketch book of jewelry designs for more inspiration and found a recurring motif, the leaf. My leafy white globe, originally pieced together from earring sketches, is now a lovely floating cascade of branches of powder coated aluminum.

Bio
Working with my hands satisfies many parts of my creative brain. Treating my work as small-scale sculpture, I create clean, geometric, and architecturally influenced pieces in sterling silver, gold, powder coating, and other mix materials. These are mainly one-of-a-kind, limited edition, and production pieces of jewelry, lighting, and decor.
