My story

The very beginning

Born a 70s baby in Essex, UK, I have always loved designing and making as child, from ornamental shell dolls to artificial flower arranging in woven baskets.

My career took the path of graphic designer to digital designer/animator.  I then took the step into management, I learnt a lot, but it was definitely not my happy place.

My amazing life changing moment

Have you ever gone shopping and not been able to find what you’re looking for, you want something a little different, you don’t quite know what it is, but you will when you see it?  All you know is you want something to match your outfit that’s a bit different from the norm, a statement about yourself.

YOU GO HOME EMPTY HANDED :(

I have often done that, but on this one occasion in 2014, I decided to do something about it. I had come across a silversmithing jewellery taster course at the London Jewellery Academy in Hatton Gardens. I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if you could design and make whatever jewellery your heart desired (within reason). No more hunting around shops and being disappointed. I was thinking big, I could make my own ............

I went on the course and was totally hooked; I had inadvertently found “my happy place” at the bench.  

I continued my training at the college which was excellent. It wasn’t as easy as I first thought but it was very enjoyable. There was so many skills to master and lots of inspiring tutors and designers with so much knowledge for me to learn from.

My passion is as strong as ever and my technical skills for jewellery designing and making have continued to grow over the years. I continue to develop these and will incorporate them into future collections which I am really looking forward to sharing with you.

I hope that my designs will become part of those special pieces of jewellery that you have been searching for.
