design personality
Model wearing peacock statement jewellery
Drawing inspiration from the world around me, I create narratives through the contemporary use of shape and colour. I am fascinated by graphical communucation, and use this to approach projects with a balance of practicality and artistic innovation.
33 Personal design
I love to travel. Climbing, Latin dance and swimming keep me motivated. In my free time I run a jewellery business and illustrate in pen and watercolours.
