Designer, Jeweler, and Maker in São Paulo, Brazil

Ever since I remember, I was making jewelry - out of colorful cable wires and epoxy clay as a child, to fine silver wire and seed beads when I was a teenager. It was during a class in Architecture school that a professor urged me to find my artistic voice, which led me to my first silversmithing workshop.

During the past 14 years, I have studied and practiced several aspects of jewelry making, including all kinds of traditional silversmithing techniques and stone setting to mokume gane and metal clays. From 2005 to 2010, I was the appointed distributor of Art Clay metal clay products in Brazil and have personally taught over 150 new silver clay instructors in that country.

Since moving to Seattle in 2010, I have been making jewelry at my home studio and exploring the possibilities of 3D modeling and digital sculpture. Meanwhile, I enjoy discovering Seattle's amazing seafood restaurants, watching the seasons change and playing videogames with my awesome husband.
