I am a graduate from the School of Jewellery with bench and design skills in jewellery and Silversmithing. I have experience with laser welding, engraving and press forming as well as computer skills in Illustrator and Photo Shop programmes. I am also competent with the Computer Added Design programmes such as Rhino, Matrix and Delcam.

 

My main inspiration is from the natural world as I grew up on a remote West Coast Scottish Island. Since moving to England to study, the urban landscape has inspired me. This has been an exciting change and is reflected in my current designs.
