I started making Jewelry in college and I opened my first retail bead store when I was 25 after I graduated. My goal was to pursue jewelry design and I planned to offset my costs by selling my surplus supplies, but running the retail store took over my life! So I closed the store in 2001 and moved to Oklahoma City in 2003.
Inspired by the high end boutique culture, I began making jewelry again with an emphasis on current color trends in fashion. Seeing different aspects of American culture has been rewarding and refreshing to my spirit and my art. I have lived in Central and So Cal, Oklahoma City, Tennessee, Atlanta Georgia and Oregon.
I am inspired by vintage objects and most designs feature rare German beads from the 30's to 50's. I focus on timeless color trends that have been proven to recur and I create each piece from the highest quality materials. I hope you enjoy wearing them.
I hold a BA in Interior Design from CSUF
