Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, my family summers were spent at Silver Lake Sand Dunes and along the shores of Lake Michigan. Growing up immersed in the beauty of the Great Lakes, I developed a deep love for these waters and knew that one day I would live close to Lake Michigan.

That dream became a reality when I opened a jewelry design studio and gallery in Saugatuck, Michigan, where every moment outside of work was dedicated to the beach and waters of Lake Michigan. Inspired by this deep connection, I created simple gemstone pieces that reflect my affection for the Great Lakes. These little bits of gemstone magic draw from the rich lore as well as the stunning natural beauty of this incredible region.

Today, still in Saugatuck, Michigan, I have traded in my retail gallery for a quiet private studio, where I continue to craft handcrafted pieces inspired by Michigan’s natural beauty and heritage. These creations are available wholesale to retailers across Michigan and beyond, perfect for those who share a passion for the Great Lakes and appreciate the history and stories rooted here. Each piece serves as a tribute to the lakes' timeless beauty and the enduring traditions and legends that surround them.
