Professional experience:
For several years I worked as a maker for theatrical costumes and accessories, creating also a wide range of jewellery for stage use. Then I developed a strong interest for contemporary jewellery and I dedicated myself to it. From 1999 I follow the international contemporary jewellery working as freelance jewellery designer/maker. I opened a gallery/workshop for 3 years then I decided to use all my time to produce. Now I work in my workshop at home happy to have my working space in a quiet environment.
