I’m a Jeweller and Artist based in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Growing up in a tiny rural place by the sea, Aotea, I was immersed in nature and folklore which deeply influenced my imagination. My parents were very creative and owned a plant nursery in our slice of paradise, with a large garden that nurtured my interests in botany, art and curiosity, often with my pet goats and cats beside me.

I’ve always been a bit of a magpie when it comes to all things shiny and collecting treasures, especially earrings. With an innate need to create, it felt natural to start making my own jewellery. In 2021, I started making earrings with real flowers from my garden, which led to the growth of The Third Room and allowed me to develop as a self-taught artist. I slowly progressed into metal work and after discovering lost wax casting, I couldn’t put it down.

My designs often explore the connections we have with flora and fauna, how we are interwoven together under the skies, in ancient myth and nostalgia. I’m always experimenting with new materials to express my ideas and creativity. This allows me to create unique textures, colours and forms in my designs and keeps my work dynamic and evolving, which I love sharing with you.
