Gold & Platinumsmith
For me, jewelry-making is more than just a profession - it’s a lifelong journey of learning, creativity, and connection. Growing up in Gulf Breeze and Pensacola, Florida, I was always drawn to the natural beauty of gemstones and the artistry behind fine jewelry. What started as a college elective quickly became a passion when I apprenticed at a local repair shop. I went on to hone my skills at an award-winning fine art jewelry studio, where I participated in art shows and exhibitions. I was also proud to be part of a local artist cooperative in my hometown, showcasing and selling my own designs.
My love for adventure and growth eventually brought me to Seattle, where I found a perfect fit at Green Lake Jewelry Works. I’m inspired by the people I create for, the unique character of every gemstone, and the idea that jewelry carries deep sentimental value across generations. Whether I’m restoring a treasured family piece or crafting a one-of-a-kind design, I thrive on creating something meaningful that will be cherished for a lifetime.
