I like taking the overlooked and nearly invisible and turning them into coveted objects.  Modern treasure. Much of my design inspiration comes from shore and marine life,  places I travel, and my own little backyard.  I use found objects, natural elements and specimens to create textural, organic pieces that are a remembrance of a specific intersection of time and place, pieces that have their own little story.  The magic of blending hidden bits of science and history into a piece of jewelry is what inspires me.
