Sitting in an office, I yearned to use my hands to create. So I started taking classes at Revere Academy in 2008 and had never looked back.

I create all my work using traditional goldsmithing techniques (sawing, filing, fitting, soldering, polishing, stone-setting, etc). I am committed to our fragile environment and has been LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited since 2003, and am a practicing architect. All the sheets and wire silvers I use are eco friendly precious metals. I am constantly hunting for unusual gemstones to create one of a kind or limited edition pieces. My emphasis is on craftsmanship and design; my preference is fabrication and working directly with the metals instead of waxes and castings. Each piece of jewelry is highly wearable, whether for everyday enjoyment, as heirloom keepsake, or as fun statement pieces.
