I'm always inspired by the hidden treasures, unique personalities and New York's overall charm.

I love how significant jewelry is throughout the world and throughout time. People have been adorning themselves with jewelry for years and its one of the oldest forms of art and design. This is something that has and will always inspire me.

Seeing my ideas come to reality. Seeing how happy it makes other people to wear them. Seeing them on other people makes me the happiest.

To me, jewelry is a natural progression and there is something so meaningful and magical about creating that one of a kind, special piece.

The leather vests are work vests, supposed to look like factory workers. They're actually the vests we use in the studio when we make jewelry.

Luxury is something that makes you feel beautiful. I have a vintage silk kimono that definitely makes me feel beautiful and luxurious.

I might do a film someday for the collection. I love designing sets and creating environments, in film school and for my own presentations. I love telling stories.
