I was born in Gibraltar and emigrated to America via Spain and England. I am a British-American with a dual citizenship. Fine jewelry design, photography and digital technology are the foundation of my education and professional experience. I have been contracted by retail jewelry stores and wholesale jewelry manufacturers; and as a photographer for appraisers, private art collectors and institutions.
