As long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by the world of gems and making jewelry. My fascination with creating beautiful pieces that connect the physical world of beauty with the joy inside your heart. Growing up, I would design jewelry from any material I could find, turning moments and memories into pieces I would store in my treasure box.

It was one of my early jobs at Cahill-Pribyl Jewelry where I realized jewelry could become a career. Mike and Lisa Pribyl, along with Mike’s father Hugh, were instrumental to setting me on my journey into the jewelry industry. This passion led me to change my degree and pursue a BFA in Metalsmithing at the University of Iowa and further my expertise at the GIA in Carlsbad, CA.

Since then, I've been dedicated to the world of jewelry design, the creative process, and the business workings within the industry. I've created designs for top licensed brands, had the honor of collaborating and working with world renowned jewelry designer Alfred Durante, and creating my own jewelry designs in my studio.

I now reside in Northwest Arkansas, where the love of the natural world around me, the people I meet, and my travels continuously inspire the joy in my work. I believe every piece of jewelry has a story of to tell. From the whispers within the elements of where it was made, to the moment it symbolizes when it becomes your own. In its beauty and simplicity, jewelry forever speaks the poetry of time to those who listen.
