My designs emerge from the natural personality of the stones I work with, yet they are also profoundly shaped by my personal experiences. Each creation is a tapestry woven from the threads of my life—be it a memorable book, a captivating place, an evocative movie, a resonant poem, a meaningful conversation, or simply a haunting song lyric . These myriad influences, gathered and stored in my mind find a natural expression in the intrinsic character of the stone and they come together to create designs that are both uniquely personal and organically inspired.
