I was born in Iquitos, one of the most charming towns in the Peruvian rain forest, on April 6, 1973. We moved to the capital, where I went to school.

As a child, I was interested by handicrafts and I also loved playing outdoors. As I grew older, I became fascinated with museums and cultural centers where I could feel the energy of our culture and especially our handcrafted arts.

"My friends say I'm very sensitive to art. In 1997, I enrolled in a jewelry institute because I was very interested in metals and gemstones. I felt that this is the best way for me to express my creativity, my aesthetic and myself. I was always a timid child and jewelry helped me conquer my shyness — I can convey my energy through my designs, a positive energy. I feel so proud when I see my ideas become a reality.

"I find inspiration in everything around me, especially colors. I really like ceramics and gemstones. We artisans express the best of ourselves in each and every design."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
