My jewelry always has a story to tell. In my research, I read books and follow the news flow. My story dictates the shapes and materials and I never know what the final jewelry be at the beginning of the process. My background as a graphic designer makes me visually orientated, and I draw inspiration from collage art, photos, typography, packaging, signs, puns, and quotes. My favorite materials are enamel, images, and precious metals. I have a big interest in women’s rights and social-political issues – themes I incorporate in my work with humor and irony. I aim to show more than one side of the story and hopefully make the wearer and viewer communicate, laugh, and reflect on the stories.
