About Me
Jewellery Design
- like all other artistic discipline -
isn't a profession, it's a state of mind
I am stubborn. And meticulous. I can fall asleep anywhere, even while sitting. I often start a sentence that tells one story and end it by explaining another. Sometimes I do things twice because I have forgotten that I have already done them. I love beautiful art books, but I only look at the pictures. I don't remember names, but I remember smiles. I can ride a bicycle, at least on straight roads. And I make jewellery.
​
When I was nine years old, during a stay in Kuwait with my parents, I made my first necklace and discovered materials, colour and the oriental world. This explosion of discoveries deeply moved my world. From that moment on, every journey – even simply moving from one place to another – became a source of inspiration.
​
A creation begins with the transformation of a material – but it already starts in the mind. That's why I am constantly searching for new experiences.
​
But really, it's not about me. It's about you. You are the person creating a moment. You are the moment maker; I am the jewellery maker. A piece of jewellery is not just an object. It is the embodiment of an emotion. That's why every piece I create has a story behind it.
​
Let's create an unforgettable moment together.
