I have loved jewelry since I was a little girl playing with my mother’s jewels. However, my path to designing jewelry was not linear. I took up woodworking, screen-printing, and painting before finding my way back to jewelry. Ultimately, I found that designing jewelry perfectly embodies my love for geometry, color, pattern, and sculpture.

In primary school, my focus was always on Math. I excelled in the subject at a young age and assumed I would continue in my father's footsteps to become an engineer. While studying engineering for 2 years, I began to connect with my creative side and decided engineering was not for me.

In 2007, I graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in Art & Design and minors in Industrial Design and Middle Eastern Studies. Those studies, coupled with my Palestinian ancestry, became the building blocks for developing my aesthetic. Later, I furthered my jewelry-making skills with classes in Metalsmithing and Stone Setting at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, WA.

I now work out of my light-filled home studio in the beautiful Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. You can find me there making jewelry, sipping tea, and juggling life as a mom, wife, and entrepreneur.
