The Maker
I'm an artist based in Phoenix, AZ. By day, I balance family and career; by night, I’m utilizing that "me" time to learn the art. Metalsmithing brings me joy as a self-driven maker. Until I can manifest formal training, I’m quietly soaking up everything I can from workshops, books, and online resources.
The Name
Afterhour Archives was born from late-night workbench sessions, where I moonlight as an artist. I tune out the world and let the tools do the talking. Pieces in the archives are up for grabs, with proceeds reinvested to level up skills and restock materials.
The Work
My work is inspired by the clean lines of modern minimalism and the enduring hallmarks of jewelry from bygone eras. I primarily work in silver, and sometimes gold, creating pieces with semi-precious gemstones that feel intentional and look captivating. Every stone is carefully chosen—and sometimes even cut by me.
