Asatisfying part of being a member of the American Jewelry Design Council (AJDC) is the chance to make projects. As a commercial jeweler, [I find] it refreshing to break out of making things for others and instead make something that is more intimately about my experience in the world. For the 2020 “Secret Garden” project, I made earrings that shared some positive feelings about life—life in my secret garden is a utopia wherein all celebrate and support each other for everyone’s splendid uniqueness, and that is a beautiful way to live.
