Nancy Prooyen
As a female scientist, I've always been drawn to the idea of blending my two passions: science and art. I wanted to create something that reflects both the complexity and beauty of the world around us. Math and science are often seen as rigid or purely logical, but there's an inherent elegance in molecular structures, mathematical patterns, and biological designs. By creating jewelry that incorporates these elements, I'm able to showcase the artistic side of science while offering a unique way for others to express their love for these fields. It's about celebrating the intersection of knowledge and creativity in a way that feels personal and empowering.
