      • Jul 2008 - 2017

      After graduating from UCA in 2008, I spent a year designing and making contemporary jewellery to develop the 'Tooth Fairy Series'. I exhibited my work at a range of galleries across the country (see below) as well as being selected to participate in the New Designers One Year On exhibition. I have undertaken several private commissions of work, in both ceramic and silver. My work has been featured in design publications such as Mocoloco, Jewellery in Focus Magazine (new talent spotting article) Sundance TV, and Trend Forecasting magazines. I have worked with On/Off twice during London Fashion week where they exhibited my work at Somerset house in September 2009 and in Carnaby Street in Summer 2010. Show less
