Collection: Totem

A symbol means more when you choose it yourself.
I have always loved animals. Maybe that is why I am drawn to how much character can exist in a single shape, movement, or gesture.

That is what interested me in Totem. An animal can carry instinct, memory, humor, strength — or something completely personal that no one else needs to understand.

I do not think a symbol should tell you who you are. You decide what it means, and that is what gives it value.

Totem is about carrying a sign that feels like yours.
