The Story of Gulliver Unparalleled

My wife Sarah and I both made lifelong friends at Gulliver, and I am so grateful for the lessons I learned there.

It is such a privilege to create a design that symbolizes this generation of Gulliver students, parents, and faculty, and I am so happy to see so many of my friends and loved ones in this community.

My Favorite Parts of this Design

This design embodies the strength and vision of the Gulliver community.  United with a common goal: to provide an unparalleled experience to students and families, and change the world through education.  

You might think I am completely irreverent for turning each of the stones upside down and reverse-setting them for this design, but in the process, I was forced to create a new geometry to support the unfamiliar reflections of these typically hidden facets, which I believe led me to a complete design that feels perfectly classical.

I must confess, I am in love with my Bonbon design. Small enough for every day, but significant enough to have recognizable power, every time I hold a Bonbon in my hand, I feel its magic, and I can’t help but smile.

I chose to name this collection after my favorite chocolate confection, the bonbon, because I believe there is a special magic in exploring a box of exquisite chocolates.  With each piece, there is the potential to find yourself in its unique flavor and reveal a special joy.  My hope is that I can create Bonbons as diverse as your strengths, and that your Bonbon captures a little magic for you.

Hidden Jewels

Have you seen the beautiful stones on the back of this design?  They are exquisite, but not visible to all.  Who are they for if no one can see them? 

They are for you, not them.

This design is for you, and just like you, this design does not need to reveal itself to others for you to know what you have inside.

This beauty is hidden from others not because you are afraid, but as a reminder that I know that your strength is always there, whether you show it, or the world sees it, or not.
