About Me

I have been thrilled by the idea of discovering beauty in unlikely places since I was young. While growing up in Los Angeles, I spent a considerable amount of time plowing through flea markets, antique shops, and even trash cans for hidden treasures. These days, I’m focused on ‘unearthing’ interesting shapes, colors, and reflections hidden inside solid materials such as metal, resin, glass and concrete by freeing them from their industrial bounds to create jewelry and functional objects.
