About me
I am currently a second year student at Central Saint Martins studying BA Jewellery Design.
I work with unconventional materials and non-traditional ways/ techniques of jewellery, such as silicone casting and latex/metal bodices.

Projects
- Fashion X Jewellery CollabThis was my contribution to a Womenswear X Jewellery Design collaboration project we were assigned last year. The concept of our project stems from the fear of aging and an attempt to "preserve" our youth. The bodice consists of gilded copper that has been hand-forged to the form of a woman's torso, the arm cuffs acting as a brace-like structure to maintain and prevent the wearer from slouching or hunching over (often a symptom of old age). The frayed edges of the bodice representing the sagging

Runner UpWorshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers
The Worshipful Company of Tin Plate Workers visited my university as part of their annual trip to CSM. The first project of the second year included a choice between using tin or wood as your material for the base of the project. Those who used tin were asked to present our final pieces and sketchbooks to the Tin Plate Workers on the 24th February 2023. I won Runner Up and was given a £100 cash prize for my piece.
