WHERE DO YOU GO FOR INSPIRATION? ARE THERE PARTICULAR ARTISTS THAT INSPIRE YOU? Gemstones and crystals are a huge inspiration. They were my first inspiration for wire wrapping as well as my first line of cast jewelry called the Lattice Series. Nowadays, I’m finding a lot of inspiration in history and studying past cultures, deities, and art styles. I am really inspired by sculpted engraving. I’m inspired by a lot of people but these are some of my current favorites Jason Marchiafava, Bram Ramon, Danilin, Roman Booteen and Florian Gullert.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE /MOST MEMORABLE PROJECT? WHY ARE THESE YOUR FAVORITE/MOST MEMORABLE? Wild Coat is still my favorite. Overcoming the difficulty of inlaying rose gold felt like a huge personal triumph. Now I do it pretty often across my work. It was also such a big idea, at the time it felt like it would be impossible. Oftentimes with something of this magnitude I look for benefactors to help make it happen. My two go-to benefactors at the time said they weren’t able to help fund the project, so I looked elsewhere. One of my best friends answered the call of action and together we made it happen. The watch was engraved as part of the Fin Des Temps collection, which served as a springboard for me into the watch engraving field. It was a triumph just to get the materials in front of me. The next step was looking down the pipeline of about 500 hours of unpaid work. I knew it would sell eventually but no idea when. The concept was something so commonplace yet no one had ever done it the way I planned to do it.
