I was raised by two extraordinary loving parents who imagined a life and then carved it out for my siblings and I.

My father—the smartest and hardest working person I’ve ever known—worked tirelessly to give us a truly beautiful life. He was a giver to his core, and found happiness in family time and making memories.

My mother, who remains my greatest influence and my measuring stick for creativity and determination, always just smashed her goals and refused to let any obstacle throw her off course.

She loved unconditionally and sacrificed so much to be the constant and loving heart of our home.

Together they built a life from literally nothing.

She was and is a natural artist. Combining patterns and colors, painting entire murals on my walls when I was a child, sometimes with her fingers, and sketching wondrous scenes. She possesses unshakable devotion to God.

I am grateful to have inherited his work ethic, and all of her fire.

Several years ago, a dear friend of mine passed away. One of the girls in the friend group/posse purchased a gorgeous 12mm Tiger’s Eye stunning blue bracelet for each of us from a local company that was making it’s mark as the OG of gemstone jewelry.. Attached to the bracelet was a silver tree of life medal.

The intention of this gift was to give us something that was a loving and steadfast reminder of our friend. I was instantly in love with gemstones from that moment forward- their healing properties and their stunning and brilliant appearance. The gift was not only gorgeous, but so meaningful at a time where faith could easily be shaken. It was one of the nicest gifts I'd ever received. It was a source of love and comfort, and a conduit for treasured memories.

Soon after, I joined a business which had almost the same design style. I entered the retail world, and made great strides. I loved the products, the face to face interactions with customers and business owners, and the connections I made and proudly brought to the table, but my ability to design, innovate, or create marketing stategies to expand the brand was limited.

I wanted to give that same feeling that I had when I first held that stunning gemstone bracelet in my hand, and it became inevitable that I would have to light my own way- with the focus on faith.

So, I took the leap. And in that same moment extraordinary and divine doors began to open almost immediately.

This is a testimony.

I can only describe it as God gently tapping me on the shoulder, whispering that it was time. I had been praying every night for a solution to the bumps in the road— and he let me know the solution was already within me.

With my faith as my foundation, I began creating plans and pieces that were unique and intentional—every piece, every color, every symbol chosen with purpose. I also began to reach out to collaborators- which will be featured here as well.

My vision flows from a place of prayer and inspiration, from humble beginnings and many life lessons …meant to carry meaning, strength, and beauty into the lives of others and most importantly -to give all Glory to God.

This is more than jewelry. This is my leap of faith, my offering of love, and my legacy in the making.
