About
Me

I’m a Devon-based artist and jeweller creating tactile objects and jewellery from my studio at Flameworks, Plymouth. I have a first-class degree in 3D Design Crafts from Arts University Plymouth, and won the Runner-Up New Designer of the Year award in 2022.

 

My practice focuses primarily on lost wax casting techniques, which are slow-paced and methodical. I create replicas of botanical forms, incorporating them into innovative designs using recycled silver and brass.

Most recently, I was selected as a winner of the Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce’s 30 Under 30 award for 2023. In 2022, I won the runner-up New Designer of the Year Award at the Business Design Centre, London, and was visiting lecturer at Swansea College of Art UWTSD. My work has been exhibited at Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth and MAKE Southwest, Bovey Tracey. I am currently taking part in the Make Southwest Emerging Makers Programme 2023, and mentored by artist Helen Snell.
