Concept + Adornment = Jewelry. An idea starts the design process, but the sensual pleasure of owning and wearing a desirable object is the result. The challenge is to satisfy the intellectual and the sensual for both wearer and the maker. This exchange is the heart of my practice. Nothing pleases me more than someone loving the idea of paper earrings, a rubber necklace, or a poly pendant. I've worked as an art director, illustrator and graphic designer; disciplines that inform my jewelry design.
