I went from designing logos for NBA stars to handcrafting jewelry for the fashion-forward. After 15 years of designing and art directing for brands like Nike and Adidas, I put my career on hold in search of creative freedom. My jewelry hobby led to an artist residency at my alma mater, Savannah College of Art and Design, after which I built my own laser-cutting lab and began transforming flat sheets of lucite into statement jewelry.

Graphic design guides my brand, Bold Standard, which focuses on themes of empowerment and wit. With the goal of being the ‘gold standard of bold,’ Bold Standard jewelry brings wearers fearlessness in style and thought.
