I've been making jewelry intuitively since I was tiny, picking wildflowers and linking them together, so excited to be wearing dandelion flowers on my wrist. Fast forward to my mid-20s in NYC, street vending off a tiny table on the corner of Spring St and W. Broadway in Soho, selling all the jewelry I had made off my table. Then forming my own jewelry design company, Nabi Design, which became a thing, for years. My jewelry sold nationally and internationally, and was featured in many magazines and on celebrities. I dissolved the company, but my love for creating playful, sensual, delightful sculptural forms to adorn the wearer continues. I use stones, glass, materials I've collected over the years. I infuse my pieces with beauty, love and intention, sending these exact blessings to the wearer. I hope you enjoy my bold, delicate, sculptural and playful pieces as much as I enjoy creating them.

I graduated from The Cooper Union School of Fine Arts with a BFA in 1998. But, really, I have always been an artist, obsessed with paper, drawing, and lines. I never pursued being a gallery-exhibiting artist, but my postpartum journey has shown me the power of my art: as a portal for the full expression and healing of my soul. I feel that becoming a mother has shown me the true value and power of creating artwork. Many of the pieces reflect, for me, the deep power of the feminine and ancestral lineage. My art has allowed me therapeutic expression during the hardest times of my life. My art has literally saved my life.
*A note on the Postpartum Vessel series:*
This ongoing series was birthed from my postpartum period, after the birth of my daughter, and entering the time of dissolution of old self and identity loss. The series emerged as a need to express an essence of my Motherhood soul journey. The series expresses my grief, my underworld journey, my trauma, my healing, and my new self emerging, in pieces, to find wholeness again.

I was born in Seoul, Korea and lived in NYC most of my life. Many of my people come from a beautiful countryside region of Korea called An-Dong.

I was born in Seoul, Korea and lived in NYC most of my life. Many of my people come from a beautiful countryside region of Korea called An-Dong. My lineage people were healers, scholars, diplomats, entrepreneurs, and farmers. I consider myself a Healing Artist in love with creating, with my hands and heart. Besides my jewelry and my art, I also am a Chinese Medicine practitioner in the 5 Element system. I graduated from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture, with a MA in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs in 2014. Before then, I was deeply healed and impacted by studying the body, movement, dance and somatics in the form of Contact Improvisational dance, completing 500hrs of study in the Embodyoga system, and have had been blessed to study with pioneers like Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Anna Halprin, and Angela Farmer. Living in bucolic Vermont and studying these modalities deepened my experience of being an embodied woman and human, connected to Nature. I have also always been a dancer. I believe the work we do on ourselves, the creations that come through us, are healing forces that touch our ancestral line and impact our future generations.
