Design Lab is an experiment, let me tell you more...
I've prioritized focusing on my creativity and design in the studio more than ever this year. My team and I are working on all kinds of designs, methods and combinations. These new pieces are fresh off the bench and will be available for a limited time. Your feedback will play a role in my design process and some of these pieces may become part of our permanent collection.
When I was a student at Virginia Tech, my primary Industrial Design class was called 'Lab.' In this ongoing course, we deliberately designed and tested our ideas. The process began with conceptualization, then onto sketching, modeling, refining, critiquing and then refining again. It was iteration after iteration in Lab and this is how I blossomed into a holistic designer. From this experience, I've developed CMD's Design Lab concept.
Design Lab features cohesive micro-collections. Each micro-collection will be finished iterations of a concept that I've been developing over the course of time. The most exciting part is that it gives me more creative freedom than ever. Please join me for the first Design Lab that will take place on Thursday, August 5that 7pm EST on Instagram Live. I can't wait.

If you’ve been thinking about transforming old or inherited heirloom jewelry into something new, I know it can come with a lot of questions. What happens to your pieces? How long does it take? When do you make decisions? I want to walk you through exactly what a reconstruction project looks [...]
One of the most common questions we hear is simple: “What size should I order?” And the honest answer is — there’s a bit of nuance. Over time, and through making tons of rings by hand, we’ve learned that shape matters just as much as size. Square rings = order true to size. Round or mixed stacks = order ½ size up [...]
After a season away, I’m back in Asbury Park, and opening The CMD Shop for walk-ins this Saturday, April 11th from 11am - 4pm. There’s nothing quite like seeing the entire collection in real life, in my opinion… So swing on by and get creative at The Ring Bar with me. There’s nothing I love more than opening my sunny studio [...]
