Andrea grew up in Sonoma with her two older brothers and older sister. At an early age
Andrea had a passion for art. Learning to sew at the age of 12, she dreamed of becoming
a Fashion Designer.  She also had an affinity for numbers. She attended San Jose State
University where she received a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in
Accounting.

After moving to New York City, Andrea studied Fashion Design at Parsons School of
Design. She worked for Wedding Dress designers Birnbaum & Bullock as a hand sewer. In
February 2004, Andrea moved back to California to be close to her family and raise her
son, Giacomo.

Combining her love of fashion and desire for perfection, Andrea hand-crafts sterling
silver, 14k gold, silk cord, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals
into intricate, delicate, wearable works of art.
