It all started when...

I took my first metal arts class and discovered a medium that immediately felt like home.

Raised in Europe, with an International background,  I spent my twenties working in the humanitarian sector across Sub-Saharan Africa. Immersed in diverse cultures and communities, I became curious about the role of craft: how objects carry meaning, function, and story. That curiosity eventually drew me toward metalwork as a creative outlet and form of expression.

I took my first metal arts class in in 2013, and What began as an experiment quickly became a calling. Since then, the spark I discovered has only grown. I studied metal-smithing in california, and in 2014 started my business: DYV (pronounced “DIV”) as a small, San Francisco–based studio.

I have since traded my San Francisco studio for the Sierra Foothills, where nature, granite slabs and the ever-changing light, continues to shape and inspire my work.

DYV Jewelry draws from my Danish heritage, combining clean lines with enduring design. Handcrafted one at a time, each piece is a contemporary heirloom.

made with intention, meant to last.
