I'm a graphic designer and jewelry maker living in Portland, Oregon, land of remarkable people, green trees and, of course, rain. I'll admit that I'm not a native Oregonian, I grew up in California and South Carolina. However, it's possible I'm in a rare group who moved to Oregon for the rain. After nine months (yes, I counted) in Miami, Florida, I was ready for some actual weather and moved up here to find it. That was 13 years ago and I still love it.

Portland's great mix of nature and industry is a constant inspiration to me and my design.
