What inspires you to work with this craft?
Inspired by travel and my own Scottish heritage, designs are influenced by the symbolism, myths and storytelling Scotland is famed for.

Carved by hand in wax and cast using the lost wax casting method.
What have you learnt or the best advice you have received that you would like to share with fellow crafters?
As a British jewellery designer, each piece I make tells a story designed to help you express your true self; to bring confidence, positivity and strength when you need reminding.
