Artist. Storyteller. Connector.

For more than 16 years, I’ve worked across the craft world as a jeweler, curator, educator, and podcast host. Today I’m a storyteller for artists and creative businesses, helping them share their work in their own voice.

My favorite role is being a connector.

I Connect People Through Craft

Sometimes that looks like traveling the world to meet artists in their studios and recording their stories for Perceived Value.

Sometimes it looks like curating exhibitions and gatherings that bring craft communities together across borders.

Sometimes it looks like strategy sessions with artists and creative businesses, helping them build something sustainable.

And soon, it will look like traveling together.

The Values Behind My Work

    Honesty

    I’ve spent years asking artists the questions most people avoid, about money, pricing, and what creative work is really worth. I bring that same openness to working together: clear prices, clear deliverables, and honest feedback, even when it’s not what you expected to hear.
