Designer of the Month

Melbourne based jewellery designer & creator of
Shop Handmade’s Designer of the Month!


When did you know you wanted to be a jewellery designer?
It just happened for me, what started out as a hobby
7 years ago turned into a thriving business

How would you describe your jewellery design style?
Unique, Funky, Bright, Colourful, Vibrant

How does a typical day of work for you go?
Each day can be different depending on what stage of the
jewellery making I am currently up to
Designing, gluing, resining, assembling, packing orders,
posting orders.....

What is your creative process when designing a new piece?
I'm first drawn to the colours and patterns before working with
any new design, and then the creative process begins

How would you like people to feel when they wear your designs?
Confident & Colourful

What makes your designs unique?
I have very high standards & the high quality is consistent
throughout my range. As each item is handmade individually,
it’s rare that any two will be identical

What is your advice to aspiring designers?
Never give up, just go for it, once you set your mind to
something you can achieve anything!
Keep it real and always use your own ideas
