Originally from Southampton, I have lived and worked in Edinburgh for the last ten years.

I developed an interest shape and form,which are key aspects of my jewellery design, while successfully completing a Higher National Diploma in 3D Multi Area Design at Portsmouth College of Art and Design.

After the move to Edinburgh and with a growing interest in jewellery making, I undertook a National Certificate course at Lauder College, Dunfermline and, since its completion in 1998 I have spent time developing my making and design skills and undertaking commissions and displays of my work.
