My Story

In 2014, at the age of 21, I embarked on a journey to Bali, Indonesia, where I apprenticed with a furniture designer and discovered a deep appreciation for the island's incredibly talented artisans. Motivated by a desire to create a social impact, I partnered with a local to found Wanderer Bracelets, a fair trade social enterprise that employed 150 artisans and produced hand-carved customized bracelets. Our bracelets were sold in our retail store, as well as 300 shops around the US, and through our website.

In 2022, after overseeing the successful acquisition of Wanderer Bracelets, I spent the remainder of the year traveling across Indonesia, backpacking through Europe by train, and exploring ancient Anasazi ruins in the American Southwest.
