My jewellery takes inspiration from art, music and fashion, blurring the boundaries of these disciplines and exploring the notion of - what is jewellery?
I aspire to create an eclectic body of work that combines a love of colour, material processes and design. Working primarily with paper, like an alchemist I aim to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. These ideas are reflected in my designs and then translated into unique, tactile, beautiful objects. Every individual piece undergoes a special laminating process and is hand carved and wax finished.
