Jeweller + Materialist (Profile)
Instagram

I am a materialist exploring materials through research and play. I use traditional, ancient techniques throughout my practice alongside slightly weird and unconventional approaches to shape pieces that are unashamedly, explicitly created by human hands. 

My current collection orbits around the peppercorn chain. I also do commissions. Contact me via email to chat about bespoke designs.

My work interrogates materiality through the creation of permanent and impermanent forms. Beyond metal, I make biomaterials from food waste and grown bacteria, from cyanobacteria to eggshell ceramics. I use this understanding of materials, no longer as inscrutable objects, to inform both my personal making and to shape how brands articulate their material identity.
