Tiny Desk Designs draws inspiration from the textures of the Pacific Northwest. From the lush forests, to the pebbly coastal shores, and even the abundant rainclouds. Working with precious metals and gemstones, I incorporate traditional techniques including hand fabrication, lost wax casting and enameling to capture the beauty of place in a wearable piece of art.
