Biography

My passion is crafting high quality, contemporary, stylish and elegant pieces that people love to wear.

For me, it's all about crafting items that evoke a sense of joy and connection. Whether it’s a piece with personal significance, a future family heirloom, a thoughtful gift, or simply something that makes someone feel more confident, I want to create something that brings warmth and meaning.

My mission is to create beautiful designs that feature clean, simple lines.

inspiration

I’m inspired by the art of blending colours, shapes, and textures to highlight the unique qualities of each material. One of my greatest sources of inspiration is constantly learning new techniques and refining my skills to bring fresh designs to life.

I also find great joy in collaborating with customers on bespoke pieces, which frequently involves transforming cherished, sentimental jewellery into something new. It’s a true honour to be entrusted with creating pieces that carry such personal significance and symbolism.

medium

I create jewellery using a combination of precious metals, pearls, and semi-precious beads, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. My process integrates time honoured techniques like stone setting and metal fabrication to apply textures, shape three dimensional forms, and cut shapes.

Technology enhances this manual approach. I create laser-cut acrylic shapes for press forming metal into new forms. I also use CAD software to refine more complex designs, allowing me to experiment and create 3D-printed models before translating them into metal pieces.
