I’m addicted to details since I was a little girl, influenced by my mother that, back in that time, worked as a dressmaker. As a child, I tried to copy her, by making little clothes for my dolls and other small objects in sewing machines or by hand sewing. Being a perfectionist, my mother,
when started to teach me, urged me to follow the same level of perfectionism, by doing and undoing the same piece several times until I got the perfect result, a pleasant piece, looking good from inside and outside.
This admiration for detail always accompanied me during my academic training, reflected in my projects, in which, the harmony between forms, materials, colors and textures was always a concern,
to get the best aesthetic result.
At the begining of my second year of my master's degree, I was influenced by my teacher to do some jewellery courses. I started with Filigree. Working the thinest silver wires, molded and fitted one by one into a structure that embraced them, gave me certainties of what I want to do professionaly.
So, in that time, I decided that my master's thesis whould be about this two fascinating worlds full of details. Since the first contact with jewellery, I never stopped wanting to learn more about this art.

So I continue to attend courses and workshops, which will enable me to be a all-rounder jeweller.
