I was recently interviewed by Vojage LA Magazine about my work as a jewelry designer. One of the question was: “Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?”
Here is my response: “I oversee nearly every aspect of my eponymous jewelry company. From designing collections, sourcing materials, and handcrafting pieces to managing production, marketing, and client relations. While juggling these responsibilities can be demanding, especially considering my other careers as a marine biologist and a writer, the challenges are met with gratification. The greatest reward is when clients recognize the craftsmanship woven into my designs. Their appreciation reinforces my dedication, making every effort worthwhile.”

Being in the circle
Recently, I found myself in an... inner circle. I was asked to share my insights and experiences with the readers of I AM THE LAB in the "The Inner Circle" page. The first interview was about website platforms to use for jewelry business and online sales. Check this page for some interesting articles by a panel of industry experts!

How do I stay inspired?
"How do you stay inspired?" This is one of the questions that Brett from IAMTHELAB asked me during an interview about my jewelry work. My answer was: "All my pieces are inspired by the natural world and I find sources of creativity everywhere around me. I don’t need to go hiking or be out at sea with large whales to let my imagination go wild. I can just walk my dog near my home in Los Angeles and find inspiration in a piece of bark coming off a tree, a dead leaf on the ground or a lizard “sunbathing” on a rock."
