I went to school and got my degree in architecture, because someone told me I'd never be able to do it.
The discipline really suited my personality and I enjoyed the struggle, the sleep depravation and learning to have a critical eye. I graduated in 1006 from Penn State University and moved forward seeking a climate change.
I relocated to Phoenix Arizona. It was there that I took my first class in metal smithing. I enjoyed it, but couldn't take the heat and felt the need to relocate again. Everyone I knew was living on the east coast so I moved further west.
I landed in San Francisco where I met my husband and continued to work as an architect. We got a dog and moved to the east bay. I worked in the garage on jewelry relentlessly and realized I liked it a lot more then my day job.
We have since moved to Portland Oregon and have a baby and I'm no longer an architectct, but still stubborn and still making jewelry.
