Hi there, Iʻm Melina!

Over the years, I've explored various forms of creative expression, including graphic design, photography, pottery, and sculpture. Each of these has contributed to shaping my work today. However, it wasn’t until 2005 that I discovered jewelry design—a turning point that sparked my love for working with metals. I’ve been creating jewelry ever since.

Along the way, I also began teaching jewelry-making classes, where I get to share my passion for design and metals with others. It’s incredibly rewarding to guide students in discovering their creative voices, and I’m constantly inspired by watching their growth and unique approaches.

Nature serves as my greatest inspiration. To me, it symbolizes fierce, unapologetic creativity—qualities I strive to embody in my own work.
