My design process alternates between organic and engineered origins: allowing a design to flow naturally at the bench or from a planned sketch, always allowing for change. I choose materials that strike awe with their beauty, pairing them with sterling, brass, copper, or bronze—or all four.
My design inspiration follows my own evolution influenced by current events and personal experiences. I draw direct inspiration from my African and Italian roots, the melding of ancient designs, influenced by my Zen, free-spirited approach and philosophy.
I must use materials I am completely in love with. Every stone I must stir awe in me, every bead must give me joy. And the best part of this is when a customer is just as excited about the stones or beads (or both) as I am. It creates a beautiful, human connection, which is what life is all about.
