Jewellery Designer. Maker. Researcher. Treasure Hunter.
I began my journey in 2001 in London, where alongside a career in advertising and design, became a Fellow of the Gemmological Society in London. From there, I studied jewellery manufacture at The British School of Jewellery where I learned the traditional techniques of stone setting, engraving and design.
In 2016, following a move to the South Coast, I went on to complete a Contemporary Craft degree at University of Brighton. An emphasis on a more experimental approach to making broadened my skillset and develop my own design aesthetic through the exploration of different materials.
Recently graduating from a Research Masters in Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martin's where my practice has been based on exploring innovations in glass technology and what is considered to be 'unrecyclable' glass in new contexts.
