Skills and Techniques

My mother pushed my enthusiasm for making jewelry when I was 5 years old. I could buy cabochons or jewel chips and then the findings to cement them into. I still have the turquoise chip and pearl cross I made for her many-many years ago. As my imagination grew I turned to intricate beading where I would graph personal photos and recreate them using Delica beads. Wire work and chain maille caught my interest as well. I have taught wire work and beading for the last 5 years while I try and reserve chain maille as my hobby.

Get to Know

I am a 3-time organ transplant recipient who has turned my hobby into a business.

The main components in my jewelry are Swarovski crystals, semi precious beads, cabochons, gold filled wire, Argentium silver wire, and Sterling Silver wire.


I find ideas to design everywhere I look. I see a bead, the color or texture sets off a whirlwind of ideas.


When designing with wire, I'll think of a project and create in mentally for a few days before actually picking up the wire and creating.
