About

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I grew up moving between Alaska and western Massachusetts — two places that couldn’t look more different, but that both taught me to slow down and pay attention to what’s right underfoot. I was a collector as a kid, always had pockets full of rocks, sea glass, anything small and overlooked that caught my eye. I loved miniatures too — there was something magical about how a tiny version of a thing could hold all the feeling of the real one, just smaller, closer, easier to keep in your hand.

None of it needed to be valuable to feel important to me. A rock from a gravel driveway could sit proudly on my windowsill right next to something “nicer,” and it meant just as much.

I earned my BFA in photography from MassArt in Boston, where I spent years learning to make the perfect print. What that really taught me, though, was how to look closely — to notice light, texture, the small shift that changes everything about how you see something. That eye followed me into museum work. I started out as an art preparator at Harvard’s galleries and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, my first jobs out of college, and later moved into exhibition design at the de Young and Legion of Honor, with projects that took me as far afield as Doha, Qatar. I spent years thinking about how a single object is lit, placed, and framed — how just a few inches of space can completely change the way something is seen.

A couple of years ago, almost by accident, I found my way to metalsmithing. It felt like that same old instinct, just finding a new material to work in. These days, what I collect most is sea glass — sourced ethically, each piece already carrying its own quiet history of tumbling and wear long before it ever reaches my hands. There’s something I love about taking a small, “worthless” thing and setting it in silver or gold, watching it become something someone wants to wear every single day. It’s still exhibition design, really. Just at the scale of a single hand.

Every ring I make is my small attempt to hand that noticing back to someone else. I hope you find something here that feels like your own little treasure.
