I’m a silversmith and storyteller at heart, drawn to the quiet beauty of things with history — the kind of beauty that lingers, and is felt as much as it’s seen. I collect rare antique silver spoons, passed down through generations, and hand-forge them into heirloom rings meant to be treasured all over again.

This journey started years ago with Dora Lou—a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, who passed her beloved collection down to me. Her passion for collecting became my inspiration to carry it forward and make it my own. Dora Lou became the very first pop-up shop in Portland, Oregon: a charming little pink vintage trailer filled with all of my handmade rings. After COVID, I stepped away to move to the countryside, embracing a slower, more intentional life with my husband and our two kids. Together, we built a farm from the ground up, and these days, you'll often find me riding horses alongside my daughter. Now, the business carries her name (a nickname for Tulip)— a continuation of the story, stitched together with love, resilience, and a sense of legacy.

I hope, somewhere in these quiet little relics of the past, you find a piece that feels like it was always meant for you.
