For a time, I believed that a solid career aligned with the values of my upbringing, together with a fulfilling personal life, would suffice. I was profoundly mistaken.
What I had dismissed for years as a quiet longing revealed itself to be an undeniable urgency, a need to create. In 2024, I answered that call and enrolled in the inaugural Master's program in Contemporary Jewellery Design at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice.
I am deeply grateful for having discovered that imagining, designing, crafting, cutting, sculpting, welding, and engraving are precisely what my soul had been missing.
