My love for creating jewelry along with crafts and arts started as a small child. Drawing and painting started in elementary school, but by high school, it shifted to crafts and eventually jewelry making. It all began when a schoolmate showed me how to make a flower bracelet with seed beads using a needle and nylon thread. Now, the materials I use have progressed to precious and semiprecious gemstones with sterling silver, vermeil and 14K gold-filled metals. After I put my hobby aside to study Cell Biology and work on a science career, I again started creating jewelry. My interest became more evident as I spent more of my free time designing and making jewelry. With much encouragement from my family and friends, was born.

I love to create boutique style pieces that are simple and unique, with a touch of elegance. They are both classic and avant-garde. These characteristics may seem like contradicting descriptions, but that is exactly what makes it my style.
