On June 23rd, 2005, I was assaulted in Downtown Los Angeles by a homeless man that left me nearly dead and permanently scarred for life. The homeless man, later sentenced to prison for attempted murder, broke my jaw, severely lacerated my face, and fractured my nose when he hit me with a two by four containing exposed rusted nails.

For a long time I was severely traumatized, not only physically but also emotionally & psychologically. But through this intense trauma, and the flaws that it created, I was able to reach deep down inside myself and find true inner beauty; an inner beauty that is now reflected in my line of jewelry.

My jewelry pieces, like myself, are truly unique; they're not "perfect" looking pieces. They possess an almost artifact-like appearance and are inscribed with inspirational sayings such as "faith", "believe", "celebrate the day" and many others.
