All my teenage years I grew up thinking I was going to be a fashion designer. Then I learned about jewellery making and it sounded so fascinating so I signed up for a 3 years degree at École de Joaillerie de Montréal to become a jeweller and I found my passion! For the masterpiece I created on my last year I received the award of excellence of my class. I also won second place for the Triennial of excellence for graduates in Fine Crafts in 2006 and was a finalist for the François-Houdé award in 2007 with that same piece.

After school, I started my own jewellery collection which is sold in different shops in Quebec. I also did some shows, like the Salon des métiers d’art du Québec in Montreal (where I had my first loyal customers, YAY!) and I slowly opened my Etsy shop in 2012.
I like to use textures and movements to create delicate and feminine sterling silver jewellery with an original and modern touch.

I also love to work in my community. I was the vice-president of the Métiers d'art Métissés collective with whom I organized more than 20 exhibitions and events for the emerging fine craft artists of Quebec and Canada. I was also a member of the Board of directors of the Quebec Crafts Council from 2011 to 2015. Since 2019, I became a member of the Etsy Vaudreuil-Soulanges team with whom I organize craft shows and events in my local community.


In October 2017, I opened up my second Etsy shop called Sweet July. I make OOAK scarves, headbands, bow ties but also dog scarves and cloth napkins in coton and linen.
