Sometimes it starts as a sketch. Sometimes with a gemstone, an object, a memory, or a shape found in nature. 

From there, I choose the method that best suits the design. Some pieces are carved and sculpted by hand in wax, while others are developed through CAD when the form calls for greater precision or a different kind of construction. 

Both approaches ultimately become physical wax models before being transformed into precious metal. 

The process is a meeting of traditional craft and modern technology, with the final piece always receiving a human touch.
