When designing, I like to incorporate many of Mother Nature’s natural objects. Some of my favorites are colorful insects such as butterflies, bees and dragonflies. The final design incorporates my aesthetic concerns as well as engineering elements that reflect my visual style. All the pieces are made with titanium and connected with rivets.

These geometric pieces are a lesson in contrast. Detailed interiors in one shade of metal are contained within a simple framework in a different color.

The idea of an object dramatically changing but stopped in motion is the inspiration for this group. Each piece features a touch of blue that aids in the illusion that something is shifting and transforming. The pieces are made with titanium sheet that has been anodized and textured with masked sandblasting. Each pendant comes with a silver oxidized chain.

The rich colorful patterns of our planet and the cosmos fuel the artistic adventure in these designs. Each piece is made with titanium. The variety of color is created either by submerging the metal components in a bath of charged water or fanning a torch on the surfaces.

The visual impact of my style comes from the manner in which my creations are assembled. Every jewelry piece is beaded together in multiple layers of cut metal and cold connected with wire, creating rivets. This technical process serves the utilitarian function of construction and at the same time establishes a unique aesthetic.

This collection of kinetic earrings focuses on common geometric shapes that flow and function together. The multiple parts are linked together so they swing and move. Many of the pieces incorporate negative space to bring lightness to the design.
