If I invited you over to my home for a cup of tea, I could walk you through all the nooks and crannies of each room and share the stories and personalities of every object that I own. It's wild that something that can’t eat or breathe can have so much meaning and feeling that energy inevitably seeps out of it. I really treasure every tchotchke, photograph, jewelry or art piece I own as a piece of my storybook. They sort of serve of catalog of my life, chock full of memories and stories that I’ve created along the way.
As a designer, I’ve been striving to envision new pieces that will look as beautiful on your armoire as they do when placed on your body. Can jewelry be both a piece of art, conversation-starter and something wearable at the same time? I do believe so!
I’ve been really inspired lately by the tactile and interactive nature when I touch some of my designs and how they feel when I wear them. Introducing Objects: I invite you to wear, engage and start a conversation about these very unique pieces. I’m so excited to share this brand new capsule collection with you.

Have you ever simply admired a piece of jewelry as an object? The details of the finishes combined with a story it might tell? Perhaps it’s a family heirloom or a precious gift from a special someone who is no longer with us. There can be so much meaning in just a little hunk of metal.
As your beautiful jewelry rests at night, each piece is a stunning object sitting in that handmade ceramic dish. Each piece is truly a treasure, a work of art, a perfect and even imperfect object…beauteous, all the same.

Friends, it’s almost here! This Saturday, October 4th, CMD officially turns 20 years old — and we’re celebrating with an unforgettable soirée in Asbury Park. The whole CMD Team is coming together under one roof for the first time in years, and we can’t wait to raise a glass [...]
Friends, CMD’s 20th Anniversary Party is almost here and the nostalgia has really set in! I’ve been looking through old photos and reminiscing about CMD in the early days. That first leap of faith — saying yes to a studio I wasn’t sure I could afford — taught me something I’ve carried with me ever since: little risks open big doors. Every milestone CMD has reached since then has been built on that same [...]
I had no roadmap, no investors, and no idea where this path would take me. What I did have was grit, curiosity, and an unstoppable urge to create. Two decades later, CMD has grown into a small-but-mighty brand with a team I love, a community I treasure, and designs that still light me up at the bench. [...]
