After graduating in 1991 from Sheffield Hallam with a BA hons in silversmithing and jewellery I decided to stay in the city and set up my business designing and making jewellery..
I initially sold my designs through trade fairs, winning a design award from Oasis in 1993.
In 2002 one of my designs won 'gift of the year' from the Giftware federation.
I have worked on over a dozen large scale public art designs for gates and panels on new builds around the city.
Johnson and Matthey, the worlds largest paltlnum marketers, awarded one of my necklaces 10 of the best'in 2003.
In 2004 the Arts Council sponsored a research trip to New York, which resulted in new designs in gold and diamonds.
I have exhibited around the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, Germany, Japan and America.
