Scientist-turned-software project manager, a geek at heart, started making jewelry by recycling ugly department store pieces.
Spent many happy hours in the 80s programming my Commodore 64 computer while all the other neighborhood kids played outside. Then spent a lot of time in college and graduate school playing with molecules and cells.
Now balances passion for computers and technology with a love for creating sparkly, colorful, unique handcrafted jewelry and quirky gifts with a science theme.
Loves symmetry, beagles, sterling silver, anything sparkly, beads, chemistry, rottweilers, dachshunds, green, pink, Finnish metal bands and BMW M3 blue.
Lives with her husband, beagle, rottweiler mix, and new baby in a quiet town outside Seattle.
Supports the Humane Society of Southern Arizona with a portion of sales of pet tags and pet-themed jewelry.
