"It all comes down to mindfulness for me. We all have our own trails and adventures we experience and I create jewelry to reflect and amplify those experiences. I want my jewelry to reconnect people with the earth itself and serve as a reminder to get outside.
"One of the most unique things about my jewelry is how I use local desert sand in each piece. I want to create wearable connections to the earth that we surround ourselves in. I love to hike and mountain bike and collect dirt and sand from the various trails I explore."
