Jewelry runs in my family, but my own journey began as a diplomat in Japan, where I discovered metalsmithing and developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and simplicity of good design. Back home in Canada, I founded Kinzoku (which means “metal” in Japanese) to bring together tradition, creativity, and storytelling.

Today, we have three distinct lines:

Made With Your Art: Custom keepsakes created from your child’s or your own artwork.
Kinzoku Collections: Jewelry and accessories inspired by art, culture, and nature, sold in museums and now available online.
Kinzoku Custom: Custom-designed pieces for leading museums across North America.

Each piece is made to last, and made to tell a story.
