Passion comes first. I work playfully and energetically, both when designing and making. It may be that spontaneous moment when an idea springs to life, when I can’t resist the compulsion to make a life-size drawing, the urge to splash colour or will to hammer a malleable chunk of metal. Believing wholeheartedly that jewellery should be enjoyed, I want my designs to captivate people and inspire the celebration of wearing jewellery. I have a confident, bold and contemporary style, designing fine jewellery that is fresh and dynamic. Through colour and dramatic form I enjoy playing with convention, layering traditional fine jewellery together with new ideas, processes and concepts. A recent graduate from the Cass, I completed a BA in Jewellery & Silversmithing and discovered my utter passion for design. Since graduation I have been working as a Freelance Designer for an independent luxury brand, where I produce a range of designs from fine jewellery to various high end accessories. I have also been building a Jewellery business where I design, make and market my own distinctive style of jewellery, as well as working on various private and public commission pieces. Balancing these different aspects has given me the understanding and capability to be diverse in my design styles, and I really enjoy the variation and challenges that this brings. As a designer, I constantly aim to be forward thinking; to play a part in the dynamic future industry of jewellery design and I will always welcome opportunities that share in this belief.
