About Me

I am from New York and earned my degree in Fashion Design and Business from Cornell University.  After graduation, I married my college sweetheart and best friend and moved to the Mid-Atlantic area.  We ultimately landed in Maryland and raised our two sons in Bel Air.  My careers evolved over the years from being a manager as well as buyer of both clothing and jewelry at a major department store chain to selling real estate.  My design background certainly came into play in these various careers but I now enjoy focusing my time exclusively on designing and creating jewelry. 

I have taken hundreds of hours of workshops and classes to include many with world renowned Jewelry Masters.  All that education combined with dedicating time to allow myself to simply "play" with my materials and master new techniques has lead to where I am today!  I spend many hours in my home studio creating one-of-a-kind designs that often reflect bold architectural lines as well as the fabulous textures and gentle folds found in fine fabrics, all life influences of mine.  

If I'm not at my bench, I'm likely spending time with my family.  We lived full-time in the Sarasota area of Florida for awhile but recently moved back to Maryland.  We now live in the Frederick area, close to both of our sons while also being able to enjoy all that this beautiful area has to offer!
