Revolutionize Your Jewelry Journey with Alchemical Metalworks

When I started my jewelry-making journey, I was overwhelmed by all the different paths to take, and frustrated by the gatekeeping in the industry. So, I taught myself how to work with silver, and now I’m doing the same with gold. Along the way, I learned to capture the beauty of my pieces through product photography and share my story authentically.

I also hold a Bachelor's in Digital Marketing, with a focus on brand storytelling, content creation, brand identity, and taking product photos on a budget. My journey has been filled with growth, and I want to share that knowledge with you to help you succeed on your own path.

Jewelry creation should be empowering—an alchemical process that turns your unique vision into reality. My goal is to make that journey accessible to everyone. With clear, detailed instruction, I want to leave you feeling confident in your craft, with affordable, ongoing courses that evolve with you. No gatekeeping, just answers and possibilities.
