Since childhood, I harbored a deep fascination for the artistry of goldsmiths, a passion sparked by family friends in the craft.
Despite my initial foray into a completely different realm, specifically media production where I worked in video games as well as traditional animation, TV and web production, my true calling persisted.
In my rare free time, I have always had the strong desire to create something with my own hands . After experimenting with various mediums, it was the allure of working with metal that captivated me.
In 2012, I took my initial wacky steps into the world of jewelry making.
Following a transformative 4-year sojourn in New Delhi, India, I delved deeper into the craft. Beginning in 2016, I engaged in formal jewelry making courses, establishing my first jeweler's bench at home and crafting jewelry during my precious moments of leisure.
The fascination for this craft continued to grow, pushing me beyond a trial-and-error approach. Determined to learn goldsmithing with precision, I made a pivotal decision in 2019. I left my job and embarked on an apprenticeship at "Frau Kette Goldschmiede" in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
By the end of February 2023, I successfully completed the journeyman's examination, officially becoming a goldsmith.
