I come from the mountains of North Carolina, where I learned early on to put my values first and create with honesty, intention, and care. During my time at Parsons I grew these foundations into a practice shaped by material exploration and hands-on craftsmanship. My jewelry design spans bead layouts, wire construction, and digital CAD modeling, allowing me to move fluidly between traditional techniques and modern tools.
Whether I’m shaping a concept, building a piece from scratch, or experimenting with new processes, I approach everything with curiosity and a maker’s mindset. Managing everything from studio work to my school's student senate fund has taught me how to lead with a detail oriented mindset, organization, and versatility, though my process always begins with the craft itself. I’m driven by a love for jewelry as both art and personal storytelling, and I hope to bring that sensitivity, discipline, and range of experience into every space I enter.
