Structure meets style.

My Story

When I was five years old my grandmother gave me a huge box of plastic beads.  I fell in love with these tiny objects that came in so many shapes and colors.  A few years later I started to teach myself to weave with tiny beads on a loom.  I spent the next ten years teaching myself traditional bead weaving techniques from all over the world. 

While working towards my Fine Art Degree I became aware of the environmental and humanitarian issues created by the jewelry and fashion industry.  I could not reconcile being a jeweler and contributing to these issues, so I decided to create jewelry that focuses on bringing awareness to how our actions – what we wear, buy, and throw in the trash – affect the entire planet.

My sculptural jewelry pieces are functional, comfortable, wearable art.  They are not only beautiful in and of themselves, but my hope is the wearer will feel beautiful, confident, and proud to be participating in promoting sustainability.  Each piece is created to promote consciousness, and educate viewers on the negative environmental and humanitarian impacts of the “material”

My jewelry lines use my traditional bead weaving skills in unique ways combined with recycled metals.  They are everyday wearable statements that support a the shift towards a more sustainable jewelry industry.

Green Studio Practices

I have made many conscious choices in the jewelry techniques I employ in my studio in order to have a low impact on the environment.  This includes using recycled metals, vintage beads, natural chemicals, found objects I “save” from an untimely demise the land fill, recycled packaging, and much more.  I use vintage or sustainably and ethically mined gemstones.
