I believe that jewellery can give power to the person who wears it. The large scale of my pieces increases the strength and power, instilling confidence.

Designing through making is the most important aspect of how I work. I believe in the beauty and precision of machine and computer-aided design, but I also have an enduring interest in understanding the material through hand craft techniques. I aim to bring the skills of hand craft and manufactured processes together in a balanced and beautiful way. My intention is to create a sense of calm balance and purity.
