About me

I'm a designer and maker exploring human interactions and ancient relics through an expanded jewellery practice. I like to subvert expectations and take a playful approach to often-serious personal subjects, using humour to make the idea accessible. This approach extends to making - a pairing of precious and non-precious materials and textures created by hand that, applied to contemporary shapes, forge an eclectic mix of modern treasures. Previously working for Alex Monroe as a Product Developer, I have gone on to establish my own eponymous label and am excited to build the brand while continuing to work within the jewellery industry.
