Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I am fascinated by the classics and arts that are passed down over time and the lifestyle rooted in nature. I learned the basics of modeling, design, and art, including making prints and engraving, while flying around the world for my previous job as a flight attendant. I have started to craft jewelry since 2014, have participated various creative activities and solo and group exhibitions since then. I am using both traditional and modern techniques, such as metal smith, wax hand curving also sometimes create design with 3D CAD depending on the works. EARTHEO is my first conceptual brand established in 2015, currently release wearable art works and craft jewelry for order made
