Before I draw, I listen.

I've always been fascinated by the relationship between people and the objects they choose to keep.

Long before becoming a jeweller, I studied anthropology, drawn to the ways objects carry meaning, express identity and become woven into our lives. That curiosity led me to study Interior Design (Honours) at RMIT University, where I developed a deep appreciation for materials, proportion and craftsmanship.

​

After graduating, I worked within leading architectural practices before my attention gradually shifted from buildings to objects—to the intimacy of creating something that would be held, worn and lived with every day.

​

Jewellery became a natural extension of that way of thinking.

​

Today, my practice brings together thoughtful design, traditional goldsmithing and careful observation through bespoke commissions, heirloom remodelling and original collections.

​

Before I draw, I listen.

​

Whether designing a piece from the ground up or reimagining inherited jewellery, I begin by understanding the person who will wear it. My role is to translate those conversations into jewellery that feels personal, considered and beautifully resolved.

​

Every commission represents someone's trust. I never take that responsibility lightly.

​

My hope is that every piece leaving my studio is worn often, treasured deeply and one day passed on.
