- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask them to bring any images of work that inspires them, so we can begin by designing a vision board. From there we map out a skill set timeline to guide progress and keep projects results oriented so they have finished work to inspire them.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Small Scale Metals certification with an emphasis on Textiles completed in 2000. Since then I have studied the healing properties of Gemstones becoming a certified Crystal Energy Practitioner at the Crystal Academy on Kauai, Hawaii in 2003. Currently, I travel to Mexico a few times a year and study with the Mexican artisans learning the Alpaca wire work styles of metal that includes cold joining and combining metals.
