Growing up in California, I spent my time surfing, diving, and camping along the coast before later moving to the mountains of Montana.
Nature makes me feel grounded and at home, in flow with my creativity. I want to share the magic of my creative journey. Whether digging for stones, diving for jade, hiking in the canyons, or exploring the rugged coast, nature is my canvas—a natural and sustainable resource. I cut and polish each piece one at a time.
Every year, I eagerly await big swells and storms, knowing they hold the key to uncovering new treasures washed out by turbulent waters. I search through the raw materials, finding the perfect pieces. Each one carries a story and history of its own. I want the buyer to feel inspired to embrace their own creativity and connection to nature, transforming their space, style, and emotion.
