Background Information

Studied for a Ba (Hons) degree in Three Dimensional Design at the University of Portsmouth. My main focus was designing and making pieces of site specific outdoor furniture. However, at this time I was also enjoying making pieces of jewellery for myself and friends as I felt that the choice on the high street was uninspiring.

After I graduated my interest for outdoor furniture continued but I still felt drawn to designing and making jewellery. I subsequently decided to build on my skills and concentrate on perfecting my own unique style of sterling silver jewellery.

In 1999 I successfully received a loan from the Prince’s Youth Business Trust that enabled me to realize a long held dream of setting up my own workshop. During this time I also secured a major public art commission for the in Lancaster. Since then, I have been continually driven by my enthusiasm for learning new skills and developing work in my own style.

At present my work can be seen through my online , at the many
