I began making jewelry on Dec, 25, 2010 in my fathers garage during a Christmas visit home. I decided, quite spontaneously, that I wanted a pair of simple wooden plugs but could not afford a pair at that time. I've had no previous wood working experience but luckily, my father is an experienced carpenter and pointed me in the right direction. After many hours of determination, drilling and sanding, a very rough/misshapen pair of plugs emerged. This sparked a lifelong mission to refine, improve, and challenge myself with what I could do with jewelry design. When I'm not making jewelry, I'm thinking about making jewelry. Developing new skills, investing in and experimenting with new tool, and creating new pieces is a passion that has become a boarder line obsession. I'm always trying to better myself and my company and will continue to push myself further.
