WOODSTOCK – Michael Halvey always had it in him to create designs – virtually.

As a boy, he bought the computer game SIMS just to build the homes, never actually playing the game. In high school he was introduced to computer-aided design and became hooked on designing virtual dream homes.

He never imagined he would put his CAD experience to use designing unique jewelry pieces. But after more than seven years working for Studio 2015, the Woodstock man combines his CAD skills and art history background to create unique pieces for customers as the store’s art director.
