I was born in Texas and studied Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, but it was during a semester in Italy that I fell in love with jewelry and began 3D printing my first designs. That experience shifted my focus from buildings to adornment, while still grounding my work in structure, proportion, and thoughtful detail.

My designs are inspired by the natural world, especially flowers, with a focus on organic forms, soft curves, and romantic, sculptural silhouettes. I am drawn to whimsy and the unexpected: a subtle asymmetry, a petal-like prong, a vintage motif reimagined with a modern sensibility. Each piece is created to feel feminine, refined, and just a little bit enchanting.

Most of my work is created in extremely small batches or made to order, which allows me to be intentional about each piece that leaves the studio. For my demi-fine collection, I partner with environmentally and sustainably certified manufacturers who align with my values. For my fine jewelry, I keep production as local and hands-on as possible, working in-house whenever I can as both a bench jeweler and an expert CAD designer.

I choose lab-grown and reclaimed diamonds and gemstones whenever possible and am deeply mindful of how and where my stones are sourced. I work primarily in cast metals with intricate stone settings, offering two distinct collections: a demi-fine line in vermeil, sterling silver, and gold plate, and a fine jewelry line crafted in precious metals for true heirloom longevity.

I also create custom engagement rings and bespoke heirloom pieces, collaborating closely with clients to transform their stories, memories, and symbols into deeply personal jewels. The result is jewelry that feels intimate and enduring, pieces that are meant to be cherished, lived in, and eventually passed down.
