"Not just an item to adorn, I see jewelry as an opportunity to communicate strength - both overtly, as well as in a more subtle, talismanic way to the wearer. I like the idea of jewelry as armor - not necessarily in a defensive way, but in a way that makes the wearer feel protected and reminds them of their inherent, personal strength. I want for my designs to feel comfortable, sculptural, and organic in nature - they should feel like a natural extension of one’s form that highlights and enhances, allowing the wearer to feel powerful, and to do their part in changing the world."
