Coming Soon: Design Lab

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.

Love Looks Good on You

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and whether you’re shopping for a partner, a best friend, or yourself (highly encouraged), I’m here to help you keep it thoughtful, meaningful, and just the right amount of cheeky. I love pieces that feel personal, wearable, and lasting — the kind of gift that quietly says, “I put some thought into this.” An iconic CMD Stack Ring Set is probably what they really want, but since [...]

I believe in owning fewer pieces of jewelry, but choosing them intentionally. Pieces that feel good on your body, that work with your everyday life, and that don’t need to be replaced a year (or even a season) from now. When jewelry is thoughtfully designed and well made, it doesn’t need to shout. It doesn’t need to follow trends to [...]
