With a master’s degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and over two decades of experience in operations, I built my career by leading teams and making an impact at a local non-profit. However, in my early 40s, a quiet desire for a more hands-on, creative life became impossible to ignore. What began as a welding lesson from my husband soon ignited a full-blown passion—and a completely new path.

Today, I am the founder and artisan behind Core Elements Studio, where she handcrafts functional sculpture and statement pieces for the home that blend modern simplicity with organic warmth. Each piece is a balance of form and function, born from my background in systems-thinking and love of thoughtful design.
