I was born in Scotland but now live in the small market town of Ashbourne
on the edge of the Peak District in Derbyshire.

Throughout the training I have done since leaving university it has
always been my goal to set up my own business and I was able to make this
happen with help and support from the Princes Trust in 2006.

The inspiration for my work is drawn from many sources including
modern architecture, geometric forms and astrology. A project investigating
light, reflection and movement during my degree at Loughborough
University also continues to influence my choice of stones and metals.

I enjoy finding unusual stones to create both one-off pieces and
ranges of jewellery in silver, 18 and 22 carat gold, and during my
time working alongside jeweller Malcolm Betts I have gained
confidence and experience working in platinum.

I aim to produce jewellery that is both contemporary and wearable;
the simplicity of my style coupled with a high standard of craftsmanship
ensures that pieces can be worn for many years.

I welcome the opportunity to design and make engagement and wedding rings
and other special commissions.
