I approach jewellery as a field where material, body, craftsmanship and contemporary culture come together. I am interested in how jewellery can function as personal adornment and cultural expression, and how familiar forms, symbols and making traditions can be reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective.
Making and experimentation play an important role in my work. Ideas develop through material, models and processes, moving between traditional goldsmithing, diverse materials and digital methods. I am particularly interested in the continuing place and meaning of craftsmanship within contemporary design and production, and in how analogue and digital processes can inform and transform one another.
Recurring interests include material responsibility, seriality, wearability and the development of a distinct visual language. Forms often evolve through repetition, variation and transformation, moving between individual pieces and collections. Sustainability is closely connected to these decisions: to material choices and production methods, but also to questions of longevity, relevance and how objects are made, used and valued over time.
Alongside my independent work, my practice extends into collaborations, curatorial and interdisciplinary projects, creating different contexts for exchange, presentation and discussion around jewellery, design and making.
Teaching forms another important part of my practice. It is closely connected to the way I approach design: through curiosity, experimentation, critical reflection and making. I support students in developing their own questions and visual language while building the confidence to position their work within a broader artistic, cultural and professional context.
