I’m interested in the dichotomy of popular culture and human nature. I love people watching, the way they interact, they dress. And London is the perfect place for this.
My jewellery is bold and I love using unusual materials, which often makes it the starting point for a conversation or interaction. It brings people together.
One of my favourite pieces is the large colourful arrow from our Pow Wow collection as it really sums up my interest in unconventional materials as well as my fascination with the urban.
It is more miniature sculpture than jewellery, it is unapologetic and made for the urban explorer, the wondrous and wild.
The materials are silver, ebony, perspex , powder coated brass and leather.
I don’t feel like I’m ever going to work. It is not always easy but it is definitely always fulfilling and meaningful.
Probably a psychologist 😉
Any day with lots of sunshine and blue skies – a slight rarity in London
