I come from a silversmith family in Celuk, where everyone is a silversmith. My village is really interesting: we constantly compete to create new designs combining the art and the natural beauty of Bali. I was taught by my parents, both of them are silversmiths. They gave me the spirit to got after my dreams, get up when I fall down, never waste time, and learn from my mistakes.

People know me as a creative, energetic and efficient person. My dream is to develop my parents’ workshop, I believe I can make them proud someday. After finishing university, I decided to focus on silver development: how to create better quality jewelry, and how to sell it. I can craft jewelry, but nowadays my father and I oversee the work of the talented silversmiths at the workshop.

"We use traditional tools like hammers, stove, scissors, etc. We keep trying to make new designs that look different but still preserve a touch of Balinese artistry. We keep our products in better quality, tidy and clean finishing.

"We hope that by joining Novica we can reach more people and continue developing our designs that can be appreciated by people around the world."
