As a small collector of hand crafted pieces, my eye focuses on the detail and I marvel at the crafty wit of academic or vernacular artists. I receive my inspiration from them and from other sources: my architectural studies, my attraction to geometric shapes, patterns, clean lines, color composition, the natural and peaceful setting of Costa Rica, the country I grew up in but mostly from the uniqueness of wearing something different!

I am largely self-taught; in the past I have taken various courses as an interest in making jewelry for myself or as gifts for loved ones. In most of my designs I search for a balance, either in materials or distribution; most of them are linked with Birthstones, Zodiac Gemstones and inspired by nature. 

All my jewelry is handmade and therefore has subtle color variations and might present irregularities. These variations make each piece unique; it gives them a personality that is lacking in mass-made items.
