I graduated from the Camberwell College of Arts with a degree in Silversmithing and Metalwork in 2000 and from there went on to Bishopsland for a one year Silversmithing and Jewellery residency.

I am currently in my final year of the Starter Studio for designer silversmiths at Yorkshire Artspace in Sheffield, and have been recently awarded the Craft Council Development Award for 2007. 

My work focuses on contemporary items for the home such as vases, cutlery and drinking vessels. I have exhibited in public, domestic and corporate interiors, and have a major piece currently on display in the Millennium Galleries, Sheffield.
