Hello! I have been in the Jewelry industry for nearly 20 years. I was also a tattoo artist and an illustrative artist for Disney (creative, right?!). I began as an apprentice in jewelry as a second job to make some extra money. With my father being a jeweler and shop manager himself, that helped me to get my start. I instantly fell in love with the craft. I quit my other job to pursue jewelry and did everything to try to catch up to my father. I was a stubborn kid and I used this as healthy competition to learn everything I could. In a few years time (and some great classes from Alexandre and New Approach) I was officially a bench jeweler. But little did I know, my journey was far from over. I continued on for another few years until I, myself, was a shop manager. Happy that I achieved my goal, I got to work alongside my father. But my desire to learn didn’t stop there. I continued on to hone my craft, and I learned how to cast, wax carve, bezel set, fabricate, CAD, engrave, inlay and advanced stone setting, all while winning several awards along the way. Throughout all those years, I never wanted to stop learning. This industry is packed with masters of the craft, and I needed to continue learning to chase the best. I have spent the last few years really honing my craft and learning more from some of the industry’s leaders, and now its time to share my designs, techniques and story with the world. I believe a master’s true goal is not to become a master; but to teach and share with others what we can accomplish. I hope that my art and content give you or a loved one that feeling of being truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
