An award-winning author of fantastical stories rooted in history and mythology, Liz honed her design aesthetic at Azzedine Alaia and Ralph Lauren, before pivoting to publishing and film, working as an agent for novelists and screenwriters. Eventually, she decided to retire from author representation and pursued an MFA in Creative Writing. Her investigations into world literature led her to the unmatched artistry of Carl Faberge. Writing led back to design, and that is how Aesop Gems was formed, a jewelry aesthetic based on history, mythology, and a great love of nature.
