inspired


Living an artful life. Work is play when you’re all in.  I approach the design process with the intention of giving each piece my own unique perspective and style.  Inspiration for my work comes from nature, a love of fashion and always looking for that spark of personal style. Self-taught, my process is a bit chaotic. Once a draft is complete, I edit, re-work and refine.

 
 

Style


My accessories are modern, relaxed and at the same time effortless. Your go-to pieces for everyday style. Natural fabrics including cotton, linen and leather are hand selected. Gemstones, precious metals and an occasional vintage find make jewelry designs truly personal. Thoughtful attention to detail and functionality is given to each piece. All designs are handmade from start to finish by me in my small studio.

 
 
 
 

process


Natural fabrics are hand dyed in indigo using the ancient japanese technique of shibori. Linen and cotton are folded, wrapped, tied and manipulated to produce beautiful designs, each organic and distinct. Leathers and hides are hand selected and one of a kind, each hand cut and machine stitched. All finished pieces are carefully crafted for function, style and durability.
