I graduated from the School of Jewellery, Birmingham, in 2005. I was based in London for a number of years, splitting my time between my workshop at Craft Central and working as personal assistant to renowned jeweller Wendy Ramshaw. I returned home to Liverpool in 2018.
Colour and pattern are a constant source of fascination and excitement for me and are the strongest influences on my work. Sometimes capturing existing patterns but often creating my own.
