My career in the jewelry industry began here, with photography and creative design and has evolved into roles in marketing and merchandising. How rewarding it has been to work for decades with jewelry artists in the American Craft and Contemporary Art Jewelry traditions. The key has been to remain dedicated to helping artist businesses navigate the ever-shifting retail terrain in order to grow their businesses and realize their goals.
