I'm April!
A jewelry designer living in the Napa.
I am in love with this beautiful valley, cooking, photography (iPhone!), hiking, working in my garden and am a big-time foodie.
I create modern heirlooms that feel like YOU the moment you put them on.
My creations are made to be lived in, not kept in a drawer for a special occasion...every day is an occasion to wear something that makes you feel naturally polished, quietly elevated, and beautifully yourself, every single day.
Pumas and pearls....my favorite! XO
My Story
I started my business with a glue gun.
I worked for Ralph Lauren during college, where I developed a deep appreciation for classic American style, timeless design, and enduring quality. That philosophy has stayed with me and continues to influence my work today.
I left Ralph for a career in technology, spanning nearly a decade with companies including Apple and Sun Microsystems. But the creative urge never really left me.
What began as a little experimentation eventually brought me full circle, back to design and a passion for jewelry.
Aptos was my home when my work first brought me to Napa Valley. My heart immediately felt good here. After several years of back and forth, I decided to make it my home. It's where I've built a business and a life I love.
Today, I design modern heirlooms, combining my love of timeless style with my own creative instincts. I work with independent Bay Area manufacturers whose expertise brings my ideas to life. Every one of my designs supports at least three small businesses.
And today, I'm still experimenting, as confident as ever in my creativity and grateful for the life I've built around it.
