"My interpretations of nature live here"

Born in Belgium, raised in New York City and a graduate of the famed Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T), I am living and creating from UPSTATE New york.

I started designing and creating pieces that would symbolize a connection to nature when the world felt so disconnected. when i couldn’t walk barefoot, feel the rain on my skin and the earth in my hands, i could hold a symbol of unity. a grounding symbol of sanity. This is why I am drawn to brass, strong , yet soft and flexible, shiny but not unattainable. Building more character with age as it patinas.

My interest in art started at an early age by applying my skills through all mediums from paint to photography. Only recently have my passions brought me to jewelry design. I want to create a line that represents the diversity in society, not to follow a trend, but create what inspires me and this line will allow me to do that. Adding classic touches, tribal twists and modernistic forms I hope to create something that stands out from the rest, catches your interest, sparks your creative side and inspires your soul to glow.
