I am a contemporary jewelry maker and Master Goldsmith based in Lahti, Finland. My works express the simple happiness in everyday life that I hold dear, and they are what make me smile translated into the language of jewelry. The natural surroundings provide endless fuel to my creativity. I want to capture the gesture of a flower and depict the energy of a plant.
To bring my vision to life, I work mainly with precious materials and traditional techniques. The sculptural quality and free-flowing movement are very characteristic of my works. I aspire to create jewelry that doesn’t speak of time and carries itself with effortless elegance.
