Biography:

My story as a jeweler begins a couple of years ago when I started playing with fire and glass and got hooked. I became a lampworker first and once I was happy with my skills and confident enough, I decided it was time to put glass and metals together. For this I enrolled in a class and once I learned the basics I started practicing, learning by doing and constantly challenging myself to be better every time. 

While my creations do not always include glass, each time I sit at my table, I try to come up with new ways to integrate this medium in a piece of metal, because I personally think that this is a match made in heaven.

Collection Concept: Speculo

A whimsical universe where plants are made of metals and flowers bloom in spectacularly vivid pieces of glass whose colors shift by day and night, under natural and artificial light. Parts and pieces that come tightly together or move independently to expose colors and textures. The juxtaposition of cold, monochrome metal and silver glass in an embrace of organic, fluid shapes.
