Working in my Studio near Edinburgh I design and make contemporary jewellery and silverware that explores geometric surfaces and faceted forms. I utilise the benefits of computer aided design combined with traditional handmaking to create stylish pieces that can be used or worn everyday.

I started making jewellery and silverware over 20 years ago. After graduating from Kent Institute of Art and Design with a BA(Hons) in Jewellery and Silversmithing, I continued my studies at Bishopsland workshop and at the Royal College of Art graduating with an MA (2008) and MPhil (2010) research degree. In 2011 I moved to Edinburgh where I have continued to design and make new collections.

The use of new technology, both for design and as a method of making, has shaped the style of my work. Using my experience and knowledge I have created a collection of jewellery and silverware that highlights contemporary forms and innovative surface design. Alongside my collection pieces I also work on bespoke designs weather it be as simple as changing the stone in an existing design to working together to create one off wedding and engagement rings or a piece of silverware to celebrate a special occasion. If you would like to commission a piece or have any questions please contact me and I would be happy to discuss this with you.
