I walk through the world, leaving only a shadow.
The people I meet leave
a mark on my life.

Who i am

I'm a traveler, photographer, and co-founder of the YES Jewelry brand. For years, I've been passionately collecting artistic and ethnic jewelry that tells its own story. I travel to the most remote corners of the world, enjoying meeting new people, their customs, and the extraordinary stories of life.

People are paramount in my photography. Their presence, emotions, and gazes. What's unspoken becomes the language of communication. Eyes speak louder than words, and each face tells its own story.

My camera seeks stories,
not sights.

From my travels, I bring back not only memories but also photographs and unique jewelry. I love to share what fascinates me during exhibitions, combining my passion for travel, photography, and ethnic jewelry.
