It is my goal to make work that the wearer may interact with and make his or her own. My work expands into space, allowing the wearer to change its composition and orientation. In this way, the work does not stop evolving when it leaves my hands While I am still the primary creator of the work, layers of personal meaning are assigned as the work is handled, worn, and loved.

My desire to create repetition of form and symmetry has led me to utilize the Computer 6,jded Design and Manufacturing and Rapid Prototyping medium in the creation of my jewelry. I also use Rapid Prototyping materials to maximize the impact of the work on the wearer and strengthen the relationship between the two.
