"I enjoy designing wearable art and have found my niche in creating elegant handcrafted jewelry. I use a large variety of semi-precious stones, crystal, glass and metal beads in my work. My creations range in style from the elegant and traditional to the whimsical and contemporary.

I have been interested in color, texture and form and how to combine them in unique and beautiful ways since I was a child. My goal is to create beautiful pieces that are eminently wearable today and will be enjoyed for years to come.

My formal training began at San Francisco State University where I received my B.A. in fashion design. I went on to study silversmithing at the College of Marin before returning to Hayward State to earn my masterÕs degree. I continue to take classes in silversmithing, beadwork and color design.

I gladly accept commissions and enjoy working with my clients to design jewelry that fits their unique style and taste."
