I always wanted to be ORIGINAL and always wanted to wear something special and UNIQUE, so, I started to CREATE little things just for myself. Then, I realized that the process of creating something beautiful and precious is very much rewarding and fulfilling and I was loving every moment of it. This was the beginning of a journey that brought me where I am today. I took several classes at UCSD and other local colleges. I wanted to experiment and use different materials. There are different ways and methods to make jewelry, I like to use traditional hand fabricating techniques.

EVERYTHING in my shop is handcrafted by me, every piece of jewelry comes from my heart, my creativity, my design. I don't like anything that is mass produced. I don't like the way that machine made things look.

I think I am fortunate enough to have my jewelry studio at home; this gives me the flexibility to organize my time and allows me to be a mom for my daughter, something that I treasure the most.
My studio is a lovely cozy room that I painted in turquoise: it has all the essential tools I need, and a nice, comfortable armchair for when I feel the inspiration and want to design some new jewelry piece while listening and singing JAZZ.
MUSIC is in fact an important part of my life, actually the other side of me.

MODERN ART, MID CENTURY MODERNISM ARCHITECTURE are my Inspiration but I love all different 20th century art movements: the minimalism and its essential elements, simple designs, representation of shapes and celebration of geometry. All these with some timeless elements such as flowers and vibrant colors.

I love what I do, I love the freedom and power of being able to create and express myself through my art and music.
I am happy when my jewelry pieces are chosen to celebrate an important day or event. I am happy when I know I was able to communicate some emotions to another human being and It feels wonderful to know that you helped someone to create a memory!
