Philosophy
Humans have always attached meaning to objects.
We wear them.
Carry them.
Pass them down.
Some become so intertwined with a life that they outlast the person who once held them close.
I've always been interested in the hold onto.
How the objects we wear every day, return to in certain moments, or carry with us through different seasons of life gather significance through memory, attention and use.
For me, ritual begins there.
Artisanal Craftmanship
Shaped by hand. Guided by instinct.
Every piece begins with a feeling, not a trend.
I design slowly, sketching, refining, sampling and reshaping by hand until a form feels both quiet and essential.
The process is rhythmic and deliberate.
All samples are handcrafted in my Margate studio using traditional metalworking techniques. Some pieces are made entirely by hand, while others are cast in the UK using recycled sterling silver before being individually finished.
Each stone is individually chosen for its tone, texture and natural variation before being set and finished by hand.
Working by the sea shapes the process.
The tides as a reminder.
Of cycles beyond our own.
Ritual Practice
Ritual doesn't have to be elaborate.
It can be as simple as returning your attention to something intentionally.
A necklace fastened before leaving the house.
A candle lit at the end of the day.
A pause before an important decision.
The objects we live alongside often become anchors within daily life.
Not because of what they are.
But because of the meaning we attach to them.
Each piece in Collection I is accompanied by a guided ritual designed to mark the beginning of that relationship.
The experience begins with unboxing.
Pieces arrive in mycelium packaging grown from mushroom fibres - a material chosen not only for its sustainability, but for the different relationship it invites with what we consume.
What holds the piece matters too.
A Personal Note
Much of my life has been shaped by periods of uncertainty.
The spaces between what was and what comes next.
Moments when familiar structures no longer fit, yet the path ahead is not fully visible.
Over time, designing became a way of moving through those periods.
A way of paying attention.
Of making with my hands.
Of trusting instinct over expectation.
I've come to see objects as a form of communication.
The things we wear, keep and live alongside often become markers of a particular time in our lives.
They carry memory.
Meaning.
Evidence of what we have moved through.
