About

My journey to becoming a jewelry designer was unconventional, to say the least. I never aspired to be an artist nor jeweler, but fate intervened during my late 20s while I was living out my wandering westen ski bum ways. That's when I met Heyoka Merrifield, a Cherokee shaman and master jeweler, who offered me an apprenticeship at his Montana studio. At first, I was skeptical of jewelry - it seemed so vain. But after a year of wandering, I began to question my life's purpose and called Heyoka, who invited me into a world of depth, meaning, and purpose. He taught me the art of  design and fabrcation through a historical lens. That viewed jewelry as a tool for self-exploration and spiritual connection, steeped in archetypes and myth.

I became fascinated by the power of jewelry to tell a story and connect with the human experience. The properties of gold and silver mesmerized me, as well as the stories the stones already carried . and I was inspired by how jewelry could capture the essence of a moment, a feeling, and create a connection and deep resonance with the wearer. Jewelry could be cherished deeply and serve as a tool for transformation - and I was hooked.. Jewelry and this art has brought so much meaning and  depth into my life,, and I am here to share it with you.

My approach to jewelry is rooted in the origins of jewelry itself. I believe that jewelry has a powerful impact on how we feel. That's why I strive to create jewelry that is steeped in meaning and intention, as it has the power to connect us, align us, remind us, and  deepen our experience of life.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the raw forces that shape it and us, I craft unique storied pieces of jewelry using 22k gold and silver to tell tales of transformation and human resilience. My jewelry is designed to add value and meaning to people's lives, allowing them to express themselves in a genuinely unique way.,. Bringing together a timeless style that is bold, and beautiful.

 I design jewelry for those who have an eye for truly original, those who have a unique one of kind expression . Each piece is steeped in symbolism, allowing a relationship to be formed between the wearer and the jewelry. From every line to every stone to every nugget of gold, there is a story waiting to be discovered. The more you look, the deeper it goes. My clients often become collectors, and friends.
