FOUNDER’S STORY

I have always been captivated by the way art and history intertwine. Growing up in Connecticut, living abroad, and studying psychology at Wellesley College, I developed a deep interest in the human stories behind traditions and objects. My lifelong pursuit of art took many forms–travel, company reorganizations, cooking, tailoring, life drawing, sculpture, landscape and interior design–working to create something where texture, scale, human experience and balance mattered as much as beauty.

My path has always blended business with creativity. Before my foray into jewelry, I worked with companies in need of reinvention and guided people though professional transitions. Each experience taught me to see possibility where others might see endings–an outlook that now defines how I reimagine fragments from the past into jewelry for today.

My path into jewelry design began almost by chance, when my son asked me to create collections for his lifestyle brand, Island Company. For years my pieces lived in his eight retail stores until hurricanes and the pandemic closed that chapter. Out of that ending came a new beginning: SEED palm beach. I now create the jewelry I love most–assemblages of parts and fragments sourced from my own travels and collectors around the world. Each necklace is a conversation between past and present, history and humanity, transformed into something modern, wearable and deeply personal.

Today, I share my collections through my website, on Instagram, and at intimate, invitation-only trunk shows. These gatherings have become the most rewarding way to connect with my customers–where the stories of the past find their place in the present. At SEED palm beach, jewelry is never just decoration–it is memory, artistry, and transformation brought together in a way that is as unique as the women who wear it.
