A little about me
The week I turned 18, I packed up my life in Springfield, Virginia, and moved to New York City with big dreams and an unstoppable spirit. Initially, I enrolled at Parsons School of Design to study fashion, inspired by my modeling career and a deep love for timeless clothes and costumes. But life had a twist in store—I discovered a passion for technology, motion design, and the art of storytelling.
During college, I began creating projection art for music events, igniting my fascination with designing immersive experiences that captivate and connect. That spark turned into a career, blending creativity, innovation, and emotion into everything I do.
When I’m not at my computer transforming ideas into digital magic, you’ll find me in my home studio designing jewelry. I’ve spent over a decade crafting two distinct lines: Vena Amoris, an ode to art history and the evolution of engagement rings, and Machinations, a collection inspired by the mysteries of the occult, esoteric lore, and religious symbolism.
Beyond design, I’m a devoted pet mom to my little (and not-so-little) zoo. Lucifer, my majestic black German Shepherd, keeps me on my toes; Baron, my axolotl, is the epitome of aquatic zen; and Lilith, my Blue-Eyed Lucy ball python, is as mysterious as her name suggests.
A curious soul, I’m also a world traveler who finds joy in exploring new places, cultures, and food. Whether wandering a bustling market in Turkey or savoring street food in Jeruslem, I’m always on a quest to learn, taste, and discover.
For me, life is about connection—whether through design, travel, or a beautifully crafted ring—and I bring that passion for connection to everything I create.
