Through my years of experience and innovative thinking I am able to forge art + industry. The intersection of creative thought and mindful execution is of paramount importance to be able to build a successful business.
![]()
As a creator, I want to bring forth my ideas in collaboration with other industries and professionals (see Art); as an expert, I want to be able to guide artists and thinkers to realize their concepts in stone (see Industry).
I am a self-taught artist; I never want to be known as a struggling artist but one that is able to see her vision come to life.
I am drawn to natural stone. This primarily blossomed at the age of 14 when I began traveling with my father, a stone merchant, to rock formations and quarries. These early experiences formed the cornerstone of my understanding of materiality and craftsmanship, eventually pushing me to establish Odyssey in 2007, a design studio focused on creating installations and custom fabrications.
Borrowed Earth came into being in 2023, a collaborative initiating conversations, exploring materiality and technology, whilst creating surfaces and architectural art, unhindered by imagination.
Inspired and Inspiring
Dimensional
Calm, yet unafraid to be different
Understated, yet not without meaning
