I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Design, with a specialization in jewelry and metals, from San Diego State University. Shortly after graduating, I had the unique opportunity to live in Mumbai, India, where I spent four months training in diamond assorting at one of Rosy Blue’s largest manufacturing facilities.Building on this international experience, I went on to spend 16 years as a Production Manager for a jewelry manufacturing company in San Diego. In this role, I developed a deep passion for the manufacturing process and acquired comprehensive, hands-on expertise across every stage from CAD design through to full-scale A–Z production. I enjoy solving complex jewelry production challenges and believe that with the right expertise and manufacturing approach, a well-crafted piece of jewelry can truly last forever.
