Who am I?
A self proclaimed Polymath with a strong foundation and experience as an Industrial designer, fine Artist, graphic designer, 3D Modeler, Professional Jeweler, watch technician for two world renowned luxury watch brands and much more! I am familiar with a wide range of tools, machines, skills and techniques including customer service and sales, born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area!
During the last two to three years I have managed to accrue experience as a self taught professional bench jeweler at “Pave Fine Jewelry and Design” in Oakland California. During my time at “Pave” I worked directly under Yas Tanaka (Head Jeweler/Shop Manager) and alongside a small but wonderful team of jewelers in a very fast paced shop.
My most recent employment was at Rolex and Patek Philippe Showrooms in Union Square as a Watch Repair Technician. There I excepted the responsibilities of servicing/repairing/cleaning/sizing watches, installation of replacement parts, communicate with clients and vendors about client repairs, provide support to sales team, perform sales of replacement parts communicate directly with Patek (NewYork) and Rolex (Dallas), maintain repair and repair inventory records, and other responsibilities related to the function of the store.I consistently exude qualities that reflect core values of integrity, teamwork, trust, accountability, empathy and exceptional customer service. Ensuring every interaction is memorable and personal is important to me. The workshop/studio/sales-floor and in the field is where I thrive.
