I create art to turn obsession, light, and raw material into wonder through years of self-taught devotion.

My favorite work lives somewhere between sculpture, jewelry, and light. I’m drawn to glass, gemstones, and precious materials because they feel alive — constantly shifting with movement, reflection, and color. I love creating pieces that feel impossible at first glance, but are built slowly by hand through patience, obsession, and precision.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in transformation — taking raw material, rough stone, or simple glass and slowly turning it into something with presence. I’m inspired by light, movement, architecture, luxury design, and the feeling of building something from nothing. A lot of my work comes from curiosity, experimentation, and the desire to keep evolving.
What would you do with $25,000?I would reinvest it directly into my studio and creative practice. Better equipment, stronger materials, more ambitious pieces, and the ability to keep pushing my work further. I left a 10-year career path to pursue this full time, so that support would help me continue building a life around the work I love and share it on a larger scale.
