Distinctive contemporary jewellery design incorporating beautiful materials.
Creator of the jewellery worn by the 15th Doctor (played by Ncuti Gatwa) in BBC's Dr Who.
I'm based in my hometown of Cardiff, working from my studio in the heart of Whitchurch Village. I use gold and silver and traditional methods to create my jewellery. Gemstones are carefully sourced from trusted, ethical suppliers, and reclaimed stones from the pawn/scrap industry when suitable. All metal used is recycled.
My jewellery designs feature a range of textures, patinas and finishes. The materials themselves inspire me, I often take cues from the stones and their forms themselves.
I am autistic; part of which makes my sensory relationship with the world unusual. It also informs my love of contrast, tactile elements and many other aspects of how I create jewellery, including adding sensory elements. It also gives me an incredible ability to hyper-focus, which can be very useful!
Every piece I make is with the intention of inspiring the happy feeling of found treasure.
Commissions are undertaken, and a selection of ready to buy pieces available.
Studio visits available by request.
