jewellery designer

I was born on... 26th May

in...Sunderland

I now i live in...London

I live here because…I studied Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins

I would most like to live in...London for now then NY and Paris to build a larger Network within the Jewellery industry

On a typical day off you'll find me...soaking up what London has to offer or breaks back up North to visit family

I'm surrounded by...people, places and things that will inevitably inspire me along the line

My absolute hero is…no one, I take away little pieces of everyone who I love and who I am inspired by

My favourite colour is…Turquoise

I make myself laugh when...I tell jokes?

The way I see things...fail to prepare, prepare to fail

I absolutely adore…natural beauty

I most admire...the people close to me

If only I could have more...time

I'm afraid of...the obvious, dying too young and not achieving what I am capable of

It's not cool but...i watch reality tv

My toolkit has...seen better days

I am influenced by...anything that causes me to take those extra few seconds to investigate

I'm currently working on...starting up my own business whilst interning at the same time.

If i was to describe my work i would say...its bold, beautiful and unique and you want it!

If i could have any other skill it would be...to respond quicker to new projects

I took the leap when…I last jumped from a rock

What makes my work special is…the freedom to approach it as a beautiful puzzle

My biggest challenge has been…to make myself proud

The most rewarding time was when i…stood infront of my work on the opening night of my degree show, nothing can beat the feeling of pride  that I felt that night.

What is exciting about who/what i am working with now is…Working as the accessories design intern at Stella MCartney, I don’t know what will become of it, anything is possible and that greatly excites me.

One of my greatest aspirations/ambitions is to collaborate with a successful fashion designer and to design the Jewellery for the runway.
