Stefan Gougherty

Drawing upon his industrial design background, Stefan Gougherty creates jewelry that's both a celebration and critique of human ingenuity. His previous career designing wearable technology informs his metalsmithing process– where practicality, ergonomics, manufacturability and more are synthesized to create highly functional yet unusual art-objects. With a DIY spirit and constant experimentation and prototyping from his home studio, Stefan teaches design and relentlessly tinkers to discover something new.
