As a jewelry designer I draw inspiration from the many places I've travelled and lived as well as the many people who have touched my life. From Austria to India to the U.S., the cultures and flavors of the world are infused in my jewelry. My career started as a graphic designer and writer and my need to create has always driven me to new pursuits.  Creating jewelry allows me to play with different materials - silver, glass, stone, crystal and gems - and pushes the limits of my creative and handicraft skills.
