She designs custom jewelry pieces like earrings and neck pieces; her special ones being the tiny brollies, that she is famous for. Her signature works such as the brolly often revolve around British culture and she has been praised for maintaining a certain British-ness with her art work.

You can buy jewelry online made by her on her show at ShowFlipper. She says, "If you can dream it, I can create it!" "Life can be serious, and there is loads of serious jewelry out there, so I try and keep it light hearted.
