I started my jewellery design business in 1998 three years after graduating. During that time I had several part time jobs while I worked on my portfolio and gained experience.
I started working from a small workshop in Pembrokeshire alongside another jeweller selling direct from the studio and supplying a few galleries. After a few setbacks I won some prestigious commissions and had a successful solo show.

My jewellery is now exhibited across the world, which has also allowed me to travel extensively – which had always been a dream of mine. I’ve also had some very high-profile commissions.
