The jewelry is inspired by all that I have seen, explored, and learned from a myriad of experiences living in sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, Europe, and the United States. My mission is to make beautiful, tangible symbols that will evoke memories of one’s milestones, triumphs, and joys for years to come, while also providing a means to improve the lives of the people who make it possible for us to have the materials to make jewelry.
