Born in South Africa to a jewelry making family, Philippa was naturally drawn to working with metal and stones. After graduating from Miami University with degrees in metal design and photography, Philippa moved to San Francisco to start her career. With the help of her husband Brian, what began as a small basement business in 1996 has expanded into a larger design studio. Philippa's love for clean lines and soft colors comes from the nature around her, just as the diversity and architecture of the city inspires much of her creativity.
