E35 - Laura Helm: The Math of Jewelry Design

Laura Helm is CEO and jeweler at Three Pine Hill, an eco-friendly and affordable shop. She holds a degree in mathematics and computer science, which she uses to craft unique and custom made jewelry. She is also a coding teacher, having worked formerly in information and technical consulting, and aerospace engineering.

 

In this first of a two-part talk, we cover the science and math of jewelry design, and its environmental impact, as well as giving back. As language "nerds" we take a dive into communication, coding language, books that have made an impact on us, and so much more!
