FOR HIRE

Jewelry & Metalsmith Studio Assistant

Greetings fellow crafters! I am a seasoned professional studio assistant specializing in contemporary art jewelry and silversmithing. I have spent my career celebrating and lifting up visionary artists whose goals are greater than one person can accomplish alone.

I have a broad collection of traditional jewelry making hand skills as well as training in more modern jewelry making technologies. I have a Bachelor of Fine art in jewelry and metalwork from the University of Louisiana under Cody Bush and 14 years experience as a production assistant under nationally recognized artisans and brands including Lisa Crowder, Ananda Khalsa, and James Avery Craftsman. I have operated as a sole assistant, on small teams, and as a Product Development Process Technician at a company of 5000.

I am comfortable wearing many of the hats needed to run a successful artisan craft business including fabrication, quality control, template and production design and development, supervising and training, copy writing and editing, and overall studio management. But the thing I do best and love most is sitting at the bench with a long list and getting through it with speed, momentum, and accuracy. Production is my jam.

I would love to join your team, whether you’re brand new to the scene or a seasoned veteran. I have excellent references. I am available as full time or part time, contract or employee. Rate negotiable.
