I grew up a ballerina, practicing discipline, detail, and the beauty of craft at an early age. While studying Textiles and Apparel at the University of Texas at Austin, I found my niche in jewelry and accessories. For the rest of my time in Austin, I pursued every opportunity to deepen my skills, taking night classes so I could learn directly at the bench. Now based in Los Angeles, I continue to grow in the field, learning from the best of the best and letting craftsmanship and experimentation guide every piece.

The Origin of Birthday Suit
Jewelry has the unique ability to connect with people in a deeply personal way, holding memories, emotion, and significance. That connection continues to inspire my work. I want to create jewelry that feels like a second skin; future heirlooms that carry stories across generations.
I’m inspired by shapes and silhouettes in everyday life. The pattern in my neighbor’s staircase railing, the carvings in the stone on the exterior of the bank, and how my curtain ruffles into a pile when it falls. There is beauty all around us. Birthday Suit encourages me to celebrate it, and I hope it does the same for you.
