Over a dynamic career spanning multiple disciplines, I began as a Design Architect late 90's, where I honed my skills in form, structure, and aesthetics, working on innovative design projects that merged functionality with artistic expression. My passion for art led to recognition as an Artist 2004, with my work selected for the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts- but not hung - and showcased in numerous exhibitions, including galleries in SoHo, New York, Germany and England 2004 - 2008.
Since 2010 till present, I transitioned into Jewellery Design and Making, blending my architectural and artistic experience to create bespoke, conceptual pieces. My work in jewellery making culminated in completing a Master’s in Jewellery and Metal from the Royal College of Art 2024, where I developed a deeper understanding of materials and craftsmanship. I continue to explore the intersection of design, art, and metalwork through my unique jewellery collections.
During that time, I have showcased a diverse selection of fine art and bespoke jewellery, merging contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship. Through these exhibitions, I have explored the fusion of metalwork, material experimentation, and conceptual depth, highlighting my evolution from architecture to Art to contemporary jewellery design.
