Born and raised in Northeast Philadelphia (Mayfair), I got my formal start in design at Moore College of Art and Design. During that time, I was fortunate enough to work with and learn from some of the best fine jewelers on Historic Jeweler’s Row. After years on “the Row,” in 2009, the effects of the Great Recession hit, and I had to think on my toes. Being a jewelry designer who lives in the real world I wanted to use my fine jewelry and metalworking skills to make pieces that were just as meaningful and beautiful, but affordable, so I had to get creative.
In 2009, I launched my vinyl record accessories collection featuring earrings inspired by the albums artwork and my love of vinyl itself. Jewelry is much more than an accessory: it can be a symbol of love, mark a life accomplishment, a representation of faith, or signify memories. It’s a piece of the past, present and future. I’m inspired by the overlooked colors, shapes, and details of objects all around us all the time. Neglected objects make me curious about their past, and about what their future as cherished objects can be.
I’m a romantic, and I really love people. I’m inspired by the overlooked intricate details of their lives too, the loves and memories they carry around invisibly every day, and if I can craft a wearable piece to cherish and honor those, that’s me doing my best as a jeweler. All of that somehow came together, and all of that still goes into each piece.

My trash to treasure passion project, Vinyl Record Accessories! Being a jewelry designer of fine jewelry gave me the skills and know how combined with my ingenuity the ability to give a new life to scratched-up, unplayable 45s and LPs. I meticulously handcraft them into wearable memories: earrings, necklaces, rings, earrings, belt buckles, tie clips, and whatever else you can think of. These musical artists have inspired me my whole life, and so many other people, and still do. The moments spent creating and listening to the music can never be replaced, and people see these records as broken or worthless when they can't be played anymore. But they can be worn with pride in a new and beautiful form, instead of in a landfill.
There's more info on my process in the FAQs, and more info soon to come on my occasion/greeting cards made from damaged, unframeable album covers. Check out my shop for current vinyl offerings.

All of my vinyl record accessories are already one of a kind, but making fine jewelry takes it to another level. All by commission; I make engagement rings, wedding bands, commemorative pendants, earrings, bracelets, and other fine pieces with the highest quality materials and care. With twenty-two years of jewelry designer experience on Jeweler’s Row, I can handcraft you a classic design or get as complex as you want (clients mostly prefer their pieces completely hand-designed, but CAD's also an option).
Making pieces EXACTLY as a client dreams them is the ultimate challenge and reward for me. Check out my Custom Orders page for more info!
