Connect. Whether I’m working on a collection or creating a special commission piece of jewelry for a couple that’s come in to my studio, I always have meaning in my work. Having a human connection with my clients is critical. Knowing that a piece of jewelry will be symbolic of a couple’s story, their love, or an important milestone in their lives is an exciting privilege that inspires me to create something precious and breath-taking. Once that connection is made, the flow of creative energy kicks in and I’m ready to design!
