Imad Abouljoud
Leiden, Netherlands

I am an engineer working for the county of Zuid-Holland in the
Netherlands. I have a management position and I am responsible for
area development and civil infrastructure projects and programs in
the county. I Lived, studied and worked in the US from 1976 to 1983.
In those years I learned to make jewelry and for a while earned my
living making it

When I started working as an engineer, making jewelry became my
hobby. I do it just for fun, relaxation and to when I want to be
creative. I have a modest workshop at home and I am expanding it
little by little. I make construction jewelry and I would like to
start casting.

I’m retired from a career as a project manager for a medical device
company. I started silversmithing about 3 years ago and really enjoy
it. I’m still in the “learn as you go” mode, so every day at the
bench is an adventure!
