My work space is beautiful, it makes me so happy walking in every morning. I start work really early, around 7:30, I get to have my coffee and watch the ships come in and out of the port. I recognize some of the ships that keep coming back to the Haifa port already, Lirica, Norwegian Jade, Golden Iris which actually sells my jewelry at her shop already.

My studio is inside an office building actually, in downtown Haifa, at the city port, on the 6th floor. That's why I have such peace, quiet and a great view. I need that space to create, think and be by myself.

It's a small studio, but it's got everything. I have some serious metalsmithing equipment that I can use to saw, drill, hammer or solder. I do a lot of crochet work too, as you can see, much of the jewelry is crocheted.

I listen to audiobooks a lot, and lectures on different subjects. In general, I love to read and listening to audiobooks I can "read" while working too.

Not accidentally, there's a post office right underneath my building. It makes it so easy to ship packages.

In the studio I start out by drawing out my designs in a notebook, that I keep handy. Not all designs get made, there are a lot more drawings than time to make them!
