She creates art with her jewelry: masterpieces that cannot be replicated because of their complexity. She is a party girl. She knows exactly what she wants: she wants everything. She loves excess. She will throw everything together, because she wants to. She is independent and doesn’t care what you think, which is why you won’t forget her. The decisions that she made aren’t calculated or formulated. They are spontaneous and depend on her mood. She makes the rules, and you can’t keep up. She won’t make excuses. She is who she is.

My brand is about beauty and the imperfections of beauty. Beauty isn’t about being perfect and planned and structured and put together. Perfection is a concept that unrealistic, unoriginal, and boring. Perfection is not beautiful: far from it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you are the beholder. My brand is about being yourself, and finding the beauty in who you are. My photographs show you my interpretation of beautiful: my tastes and preferences, and the decisions that I have made as an artist to influence how you perceive me.
