I'm a southern Californian by way of Florida and I now split my time between California and Florence, Italy. I know…it’s awesome and I don’t take it for granted for one second.

I’m a bit irreverent, artistic, and willing to jump a fence to find a new adventure.

Anything to do with the ocean, I love…so therefore I'm a hopeless beachcomber. I use a lot of sea glass in my jewelry designs and I found my first piece of sea glass years ago on the beach in Baja, Mexico while on a surf trip traveling in a VW van with my boyfriend.

I make jewelry, and I make jewelry for people who want to have an emotional connection to their jewelry. People who are one-of-a- kind and want one-of-a-kind jewelry that brings them joy every time they wear it. 

I have studied and trained with master Florentine goldsmiths in Florence, Italy learning classical, traditional techniques in jewelry making as well as master metalsmiths in the United States.

As the founder of the Metalsmiths in Florence and Metalsmiths in Vicenza workshops, I get to combine my love for both metalsmithing and Italy by inviting jewelry makers and aspiring stone setters from all over the world to join me in Italy for a weeklong workshop learning all about different techniques in goldsmithing, stone setting, engraving, among others.

Metalsmithing not your thing? That’s cool, I can also host and organize other workshops and retreats as well for those who want to experience something soul changing and to live-like-a-local in Italy at the same time. Wine is involved, and food, and art.   Did I mention wine?
