My stainless steel jewelry is comprised of traditional chainmaille patterns that are often combined with various textures of chain. I have taken a medieval craft that was once purely utilitarian and adopted it for use as modern adornment. My designs have Art Deco, Victorian, punk, and glam rock influences. I weave, measure, cut, and assemble everything by hand. I also use a micro-pulse arc welder for hot joining and to set any gemstones that I incorporate into my pieces.
I grew up in Northern Illinois, got my BFA in Crafts/Metals at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1996, and have lived in Chicago since 1998. I celebrate my 25th year in business in 2025.
