She earned a bachelor's degree in the goldsmithing department of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design from 1985 to 1989. She then earned a master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London from 1989 to 1991. As a student she received several prizes, including the Lockman Prize in 1987.

Her design was chosen for the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor, a gold-colored disc with cut Hebrew letters that let light pass through.
