About Me

My photo
Bruthen, Victoria, Australia
I started out making basic jewellery in my mid school years, and it was due to the mounting frustration of not being able to "do more!" that pushed me to study in jewellery design. In 2009 I completed an Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Jewellery) at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia. This course is very highly focused on design, and we were urged to push our designs to be everything they could be. I love to work in metal, mostly silver, and I am keen to push the boundaries of what is considered modern day, jewellery acceptance. I draw my inspiration from everything around me, and have also designed and made many pieces from my dreams. My jewellery is usually quite organic and large... :) I like rings to be sculptures for the hand - See "Talk To The Hand" ring on the Home Page. I hope to continue my studies both around Australia and overseas in the coming years, but for now I have my own studio in the bush where I grew up to keep experimenting with the wonders of jewellery design.

The Body Corporate!

The Body Corporate is a collection of designer/makers of wearable jewellery and 3D objects. We all studied together in 2008 - 2009 and as our course was drawing to it's end, we banded together to conquer the unknowing world of jewellery design.

Take a peep at our first coming out exhibition:

"Peep Show" at Self Preservation, 70 Burke St Melbourne.

Opening 24th November 6 - 8pm.
