On my ethic and vision
My work is the result of memories, personal feelings, and a formal and expressive research
exploring the beauty of nature and the fragility of human experience.
Poetry, music, art and life itself are an important part of this journey as well.
Through my work I try to recall alternative realities in which to get lost, to slow down, to heal and amaze the soul.
I believe in the sustainable process of craftsmanship:
producing less with a particular attention to quality and details, following the slow rhythms of emotions and handmade process. I avoid any metal or stone that put nature and man at risk during their extraction,
while choosing up/re-cycled materials. I work with natural light, minimizing the use of electricity,
for this reason the making of a single piece could take weeks.
Be patient, please, it is all about the Sun! :)
When my hands are in pain - and to keep my mind focused - I also like to experiment with clay.
You can find some of my ceramics here.
A very passionate teacher, I also run jewellery making and pottery classes
to keep the spirit of handmade craft alive, sharing all the tips and 'academic' rules with a fresh approach,
in a stimulating atmosphere and respecting each individuality.
*If you love craftmanship, please support small businesses, local shops and independent designers/artisans.
For our choices can really make the difference! :)

My story
Born in Bari, Puglia, 1983.
As a child she dreams of exploring the world, of becoming a sculptress and a psychiatrist/criminologist.
Eventually she graduates in Sciences and Technologies of Fashion, and for more than ten years she works as a fashion designer in Italy and abroad - fulfilling her desire to travel, discovering new cultures
and new points of view. In 2015 She also starts to work as a teacher and consultant in fashion academies.
When busy designing her collections, she mostly listens to serial killers' documentaries.
To focus better, she says.
While working in the majestic city of Istanbul, pushed by an endless curiosity and deep appreciation for art and craftsmanship, she discovers jewelry making - a medium that perfectly channels her creative vision.
She explores new techniques and materials, expanding her artistic vocabulary and finding a new way to express her visions and inner contrasts.
Back home, she starts building an artistic life on her own terms, transforming raw metal into intricate botanical forms of quiet poetry. Inspired by nature and the fragility of human experience, her work is rooted in industrial brass, a metal she chose for its raw brightness and the stubborn pleasure of making a hard material whisper.
Her work has been exhibited in international galleries and museums and included in the Homo Faber Guide, among the finest examples of European craftsmanship.
In 2026 she's invited to exhibit at the MAD Museum in New York, as part of the coveted
'MAD About Jewelry' annual show, and to present her work before the visionary Lynn Yaeger
- a moment she still struggles to find words for.
A passionate educator, she also collaborates with leading institutions such as IED Milano,
to keep the spirit of handmade craft alive, while pushing students to develop their own artistic language.
She also runs intuitive jewellery making workshops and retreats in Bari, Milano and other selected locations,
in a stimulating atmosphere and with deep respect for each person's creativity.
She also works as a senior jewelry designer for several brands and as a ceramic tutor at Ekadea Studio and Ideamondo in Milano.
She loves free spirits and broken souls. And cats.
