I grew up between cultures, around a family business where trust is built over generations. I'm happiest learning something new, untangling a hard problem, or meeting someone who sees the world differently.

Jewelry Runs in my Veins
Third-generation jeweler, raised in a joint family with hundreds of jewelers within one phone call. Most 5 year olds play with barbies, I got to play with diamonds.

Indian by blood. Raised in Japan. Made a little more myself by every place I've called home. I've learned there's rarely just one way to see something.

How do I utilize technology to bring the same offline jewelry purchasing experience, online?
Building technology to transform the world of jewelry.
I've grown up around the jewelry industry. I've seen the expertise, the relationships, and the care that go into finding and making beautiful things.
I've become more interested in a different question: why can discovering and buying fine jewelry online still feel so difficult?
We're building a marketplace that connects people with exceptional fine jewelry from independent jewelers, with a focus on making the experience more transparent, approachable, and trustworthy.

I've never been particularly good at keeping my world small. Travel doesn't make you a different person overnight, but it gives you more ways to understand the world, and a little more humility about how much you still have to learn.
