Born into a family of artists, creativity has always been deeply ingrained in my life. I grew up in a home filled with personal paintings and heirlooms, each carrying its own unique story. This environment instilled in me a profound appreciation for art and its ability to convey emotions and experiences across generations.
My artistic journey led me to the Sir John Cass School of Art, Architecture, and Design at London Metropolitan University, a dream come true. However, the path from artistic passion to a sustainable career was not always straightforward.
Driven by entrepreneurial spirit, I founded a recruitment company, helping others navigate career transitions and pursue their passions. This experience not only honed my business acumen but also rekindled my own artistic ambitions. In 2019, Ark Jewellery was born.
​
From the outset, I have prioritized ethical and sustainable practices, utilizing recycled and fair-trade materials. The jewellery industry often carries a negative environmental impact due to mining practices. As an artist, I believe that creating art is not merely about achieving aesthetic perfection but also about educating and raising awareness of environmental responsibility.
​
Intrigued by the possibilities of new technologies, I explore the boundaries of traditional jewellery making, incorporating 3D printing and unconventional materials like wood and fine metals. My designs are often inspired by the fragility and beauty of nature, incorporating gemstones with elegant simplicity.
​
My collections are deeply personal, reflecting my travels, cultural experiences, and the emotions and stories that shape my life. However, I believe that true art transcends the artist's intent, allowing viewers to discover their own connections and weave the pieces into their own personal narratives.
