Creative and boundary pushing design is what inspires me.
With a BA Honours in Silversmithing, Goldsmithing and Jewellery (2008) and
over 12 years of experience as a designer and maker, I have acquired vast knowledge of how the jewellery and silversmithing trade operates; starting from design through to creation and delivery of unique, bespoke pieces to a wide range of clientele. I am confident in all the major 3D software’s and excel specifically in the Rhino 3D Modelling program. I am able to pick up new programs with ease and am always willing to learn new processes to expand my creative process.
I create all in-house bespoke designs at my current employment, including swords, silverware, medals, jewellery, tableware and luxury gifts. With various pieces I manage the process of creation and making, through to delivery of the high-end items. Most of the design briefs have been delivered with very little guidance or information on the final piece required, giving me the freedom to push boundaries with creations and learning in the process. By creating bespoke designs, I have learned quickly new software’s and manual handling techniques, which have extended my skill-set.
