The daughter of immigrant parents, raised in New Orleans, she learned the jewelry industry from the inside out — developing an eye, earning credentials, designing pieces people adored. She spent years building that understanding before she was ready to build something of her own.

What she built from that season is a brand that knows what it means to start over, choose yourself, and refuse to stay small. If any part of that sounds familiar — this story is for you.
