In 1995, she arrived in Mexico and fell in love with its vibrant artisanal traditions, eventually discovering Taxco, the country’s renowned jewelry capital. There, she enrolled at the National University (UNAM), where she studied design, art history, lapidary, engraving, and silversmithing, graduating in 1999. Her collections, celebrated throughout Mexico, reflect her unique style, characterized by geometry, textures, and contrasts. She embraces jewelry as a form of personal expression, transforming traditional forms into contemporary statements while always seeking beauty and elegance.
