You’ve met the 3D² Stand Alone… but unless you’re on my newsletter list, you haven’t seen the Both/And Stand Alone yet!

All Stand Alones are BOTH sculpture AND bangle—but the Both/And version takes it further:
BOTH organic lines AND geometric edges.
This particular one has BOTH hematite stone details AND 3D² silver accents.
It’s for the person who wants to have their cake and eat it too, with a glass of champagne! 🥂

This one-of-a-kind African Blackwood Both/And Stand Alone will make its debut in just two weeks at the @smithsoniancraftshowsswc!

Also: if you’re not already on my email list, you can sign up at my website—link’s in the bio.

Tulipwood is here—just in time for spring and the @smithsoniancraftshowsswc.

This rare rosewood, originally from Northeastern Brazil, has become nearly impossible to source due to overharvesting. The small shrub-like tree was sought after for its vivid pink and red swirls, but even more so for its fragrant oils—once crushed and used in a famed 1920s perfume (still made today, though no longer in its original form).

The Tulipwood I’m using was responsibly sourced from old stock that’s been stateside for years. I was able to purchase a very small amount, and I’ll be allocating just a few pieces into my collection each spring—so we can savor its beauty slowly and deliberately.

A little over a week ago, an incredible team of people helped me pull off a really fun photoshoot! Before I start sharing the final images, I wanted to give you a glimpse behind the scenes and send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it happen.

Where do I start? @madisonjanehair and I met when we were both just starting our businesses (only a few years back), so getting to bring our work together for this shoot was extra special. Sculpture jewelry meets hair sculpture—your stunning, complementary styling completed every look!

@megest1994 provided the perfect wardrobe to set everything off, and I loved pairing our pieces together here at home! Meg also carries my work in their Brooklyn & NOLITA locations, so if you’re in NYC, you can pair them together too. 😉

@karis.marie_—you are a beauty inside and out, and seeing the pieces on you activated the work in a new way! No surprise here, but the camera loves you!

And last but absolutely not least—Bill Green @mtlb and the kind folks at @bluespiral1. This shoot never would have happened without Bill’s vision, excitement, and connections. Shooting this collection inside Blue Spiral Gallery, surrounded by gorgeous lighting and beautiful art, was unreal!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It takes a village! Stay tuned for the fruits of this labor.

Taking some time to address a chronic shoulder issue—
and getting a rare look behind the scenes.

The part you don’t see often—
but everything depends on.

Thank you to @craftcouncil for hosting such an incredible show!

Daily bun runs thanks to @thebunshop 🥐, and so much love to our friend Taylor for hosting Denby and me in the most charming historic home.

And to everyone who came out and shopped at ACC Baltimore this weekend — we’re so grateful for you! 🤍 Extra special shoutout to @jmmwelch70 & @jogapeach for the infectious laughter, joy, and all around good taste. 😜 I’m not kidding — these women bring the good times full time. ❤️

And of course, endless appreciation for the support back home while I was away.

As always… #takesavillage 🥰

Here are a few detailed views from Facet & Flow at @dransfieldjewelers.

You can expect to see more from the Cubic Nugget collection in the future. African Blackwood and Black Palm play beautifully together—don’t you think?

Valentine’s Day is pretty low on my personal priorities list—but sometimes it is nice to think of someone, just because.

If you’re looking to give a little something to someone special and celebrate meaningful emotional connections… wood says it all!😉

Different woods carry different meanings, so I’ve created a small selection of featured pieces for the occasion, mixed with a few of my personal favorites. You really can’t go wrong with Purpleheart 💜—and Bloodwood, with its deep, rich tone, has long been associated with passion 💋

And as always, choosing one of these pieces also means showing a little love to a small, independent business—which truly means more than you know.

Just saying. 😘

After more than a year of imagining, the 800 Series is finally here.

This collection was created as a more accessible entry point into my work—pieces I’m proud of, designed for everyday wear, a little more casual, and intentionally less polished (but not any less considered).

The name is literal: while my classic collection is polished to 7000 grit, the 800 Series is finished to 800 grit—similar to how I’ve always finished my key chains. The result is a softer, more matte surface that shows the character of the wood and requires less labor to produce.

I’m also introducing niobium for the first time. It’s hypoallergenic (commonly used in piercings and medical applications), making this collection wearable for folks with silver or gold sensitivities—and more affordable as precious metal prices continue to rise.

The 800 Series launches with earrings just in time for Valentines & available now in my online shop. An 800 Series Necklace line is in the works to leave you with something to look forward to. 🙂

P.S. If you are local and want to view the 800 Series in person @foundationwoodworks is the first to launch this new collection with me!
