The path of my professional life has followed many twists and turns to lead me to this place. As a teenager and young woman I worked all kinds of jobs in many settings, from retail to factory to professional, and everything in between. In college I majored in International Political Economy and minored in Asian Studies. My first career led me to London where I worked as a consultant in the sphere of finance. I also had a stint in property management and, after picking up a degree in Interior Design, I owned a small design practice. All the while I took pottery classes on the side.

Ceramics transitioned from hobby status to a small business when my daughter started school, because it reignited a passion and desire to be creative while offering the flexibility I needed in my home life. At first I enjoyed collaborating with my woodworking husband, but he eventually moved on from the wood shop to the trout stream while I continued to work with clay. Now, here I am today: a teenager's mom, a fishing enthusiast's wife, and a part time potter. Did I mention I'm writing a book? Maybe we will save that for another time...
