I’m a maker, a wife, a mother, a late bloomer, and a design enthusiast. I have always been an artist—aside from jewelry making, I like painting, sewing, and just creating. My mom is an artist, my daughter just graduated from School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and my son loves to build things from scratch. Creating makes our hearts beat faster.

When I’m not creating I hike in the gorgeous foothills of Boulder, CO, less often than I like or should and generally spend more time watching the extremely athletic people of my community bike or run past my house. I like to go for walks with my husband, to get together with friends, and to waste endless hours looking at Pinterest. I have numerous talented friends and I love attending their art events and other art happenings in my area.

I’m obsessed with jewelry and feel like jewelry completes an outfit—makes the statement you want to make. I want to make those pieces that reflect your style and make you feel effortlessly elegant. They have to be comfortable and affordable too. Happy hunting!
