Design + Art Direction




















I can't get enough of... +
  • Learning new card games
  • Collecting sea glass
  • Eating Scones
  • Using my Le Pen








A gem is not finished until it is set.

My process blends instinct, strategy, and refinement to create work that feels clear, considered, and built to last. Here is the behind the scenes of how raw ideas are cut, polished, and transformed into something valuable.


Process 1

01 — Unearth What matters?
          Start with the raw form.
          Clarity begins with understanding.        

Process 2

02 — Shape What could it be?
Sketch, write, explore.
Push directions until something clicks.        

Process 3

03 — Cut What stays?
Refine the idea down. Remove 
what is not needed. Keep what hits.        

Process 4

04 — Refine What improves it?
Test, adjust, rethink. The idea 
gets sharper with every pass.        

Process 5

05 — Polish What makes it shine?
Perfect the details. Elevate the finish.
Small touches create the biggest impact.        

Process 6

06 — Set Where does it live?
Place the idea into the world. 
Context gives it meaning—how 
it’s seen, used, and experienced.

Let’s make some gems together!
