The Name
Jewelry finds me in the quiet after-hours, when the world asks nothing of me and my hands can catch up with my thoughts. Afterhour Archives is a result of late-night bench sessions where ideas take shape and the day’s noise gives way to flame, torch, and tools. The archives feature tangible evidence of the magic occurring when no one is watching.
The Maker
Metalsmithing began as a way to piece together scattered keepsakes, but over time, it became a grounding practice, a meditation, as I navigate the rhythm of family life and career. As a self-driven maker, I craft one-of-a-kind pieces using techniques learned from talented instructors, books, and workshops whenever time allows.
The Work
I love working with semi-precious gemstones, metals, and beads—whether cooking up a fresh design or re-purposing pre-loved pieces. As an avid gemstone collector, I hand-select each stone, as every project deserves thoughtful planning for a truly personal touch.
