About

I work with authorial jewellery and metal, on the edge between organic and industrial aesthetics.

I take a sheet of metal and shape it with hammer and fire.
I work the stone until it reveals what it holds.
I carry the material's state into the piece. I play.

In my work, I look for kindred minds — people who recognise themselves in an object and accept it as part of who they are.
It is something I have been moving towards through my work.

Because of my background across different disciplines, I approach jewellery as a sculptural artefact.
I am interested in surface, in the drawing of the material, and in the expressive value of the object rather than its role as a decorative accessory.

I also teach jewellery courses and work on commissions.

My work has been awarded:

1st place — ring category, International Accessories Silver Contest (Tokyo, 2023)

I build on honest handwork.
It is my anchor to reality — the most sincere thing I can do.
