I have been a designer for over thirty years in a myriad of artistic disciplines. I began my career in art as a painter, then working as an illustrator, art director & designer in the field of advertising - focusing on designing and developing stylish and memorable brands. Several years ago, I added an interior design degree and designed residential interiors, and more recently, I started designing and producing my own lines of illustrated cultural charms, precious gemstone jewelry, & adding pieces where I integrate vintage & antique elements, to create a full designer line of heirloom quality jewelry.
