the NGFJ recipe

Born in the US and of Lebanese Brazilian descent, I spent most of my life between Tokyo, Paris, California and New York and am now based in London.

I consider myself a modern day hobo - but to keep the intro chic, let's say

"citizen of the world".

I never really fit into one given mold, and still don't. By always being an odd ball out, I was able to internalize a mindset that is core to NGFJ: don't think outside the box. Think like there is no box. My goal: make ordinary products extraordinary.

How did I get here? After majoring in both Art and Economics at Stanford University I started working for BCG's Luxury Practice Group in NY, followed by a 2-year management track program for Hermes. This experience fueled my passion for jewelry and appreciation for great craftsmanship giving rise to a desire to create, to build and to share my vision.

Craftmanship

All of the pieces are made by Lebanese artisans; retaining local craftsmen and supporting their skill set is an important aspect of NGFJ’s mission.
