Ali has always been interested in arts and crafts since she was a child. She discovered the wonderful art of making wire jewelry in January of 2007 after discovering one of Preston's websites.  Ali was immediately drawn to and fell in love with the beautiful and graceful lines that wire sculpting achieved. Since that time, Ali has been an avid wire jewelry maker.  She particularly likes working with sterling silver and copper wire to make her designs.

Ali currently writes jewelry making patterns for the Wire Jewelry Bootcamp. This also lends itself to another passion of hers - teaching. Ali loves to teach others on how to make jewelry.  She loves to share her passion, joy and knowledge of wire work and sculpting wearable art with others.

Ali and Tom, her husband, share their New Jersey home with two rescued cats by the names of Socks and Sweet Pea.
