"Adornment is never anything except a reflection of the heart." -Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
For me, designing jewelry is all about the tactile experience; the use of my hands and simple tools to breath life into an object. I am inspired by the adornments of ethnic cultures and the way in which everyday materials can be used to say something new and interesting. My goals are to create pieces that not only blend the lines between jewelry, clothing, and art but are at once pleasurable yet unpretentious, fashion forward yet timeless.

"If a man finds himself with bread in both hands, he should exchange one loaf for some flowers of the narcissus, because the loaf feeds the body, but the the flowers feed the soul.” -Muhammed All of my products are hand-dyed in my New Mexico studio using upcycled kitchen waste and/or locally grown/sustainably harvested flora on natural fibers. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Slight changes in color may occur over time, adding to the unique beauty and character of each piece.
A portion of each sale is donated to organizations committed to saving the honeybees through research and educational outreach around the globe.
