My work centers on minimalist contemporary jewelry crafted primarily from sterling silver and platinum. I incorporate natural stones, many of which I have personally found while hiking, allowing each piece to carry a unique story from the natural world.

Each piece begins as a design sketched around a chosen gemstone, with the intention of creating statement jewelry that is both striking and wearable. By focusing on simplicity and thoughtful composition, I strive to highlight the natural beauty of the stones while crafting pieces that complement the wearer’s individuality.

What inspires me most are the beautiful stones themselves—their textures, colors, and origins fuel my creative process. Through this connection to nature and minimalism, I aim to create jewelry that feels timeless, personal, and meaningful.
