About Me
I’m now in my thirties, living in a small town with my young family and building a design business—something I dreamed of as a little girl growing up in London. Back then, I was always drawn to art and making things, though I never imagined exactly where that curiosity would lead.
In school, it was my art teacher who first opened my eyes to what creativity could be. She was one of the few people who truly believed in my talent and encouraged me to keep going. Her support shaped my path, leading me to study art and eventually to pursue architecture.
Architecture became my world for many years—nearly a decade, to be exact. I studied at London South Bank University, Oxford Brookes, and later at Queen’s University Belfast. Each chapter deepened my understanding of design and space. Over time, I worked on a diverse range of projects—from residential homes in London to healthcare design in Newcastle and large-scale masterplanning. Working in places like Spain and Belfast especially taught me how design should reflect the soul of a place and the people who live there.
Somewhere along the way, I picked up a camera. Photography became a way to explore architecture’s more abstract side—its light, rhythm, and geometry. This led to my first solo exhibition and, later, to seeing my work shown in group exhibitions, including those with the Royal Society of Ulster Architects.
Then came the pandemic. Life slowed down, and for the first time in years, I found space to pause and reflect. I signed up for an evening jewellery-making course, thinking it would be a creative outlet. But what began as a small experiment soon became something more. Jewellery offered an intimacy and tactility that felt different from architecture—design on a truly human scale.
To deepen my skills, I studied Jewellery Design and Manufacturing at the British Academy of Jewellery in London. That experience solidified my desire to build something of my own, combining craftsmanship with the design principles I’d carried with me for years.
Now, through my studio, I get to bring together everything I’ve learned—from architecture’s precision to the emotional connection of handmade craft. Each piece is designed with intention and care, shaped by both the discipline of design and the spontaneity of creativity.
Starting this business feels like coming full circle—a way to honour the little girl who once dreamed of making beautiful things and to build something meaningful for the future.
Studio
My work is rooted in close observation — of nature, of living form, and of historical objects shaped by hand. I am drawn to the way organic structures repeat, transform, and evolve over time, and to how these qualities can be translated into contemporary design.
My current fine jewellery collection explores a single motif discovered on 17th-century ceramics. This historic form acts as the driving force of the collection, interpreted and reimagined through a series of variations. By returning repeatedly to the same motif, I explore rhythm, proportion, and transformation — allowing each piece to feel connected while remaining distinct.
As my practice evolves, this way of working will naturally extend across different scales and contexts. The same sensitivity to form, material, and process continues to guide the work, allowing ideas to move fluidly between objects, spaces, and environments, while remaining rooted in craftsmanship and thoughtful making.
Design is, for me, a process of continual interpretation, allowing ideas drawn from history and nature to evolve through making into objects with lasting presence.
