In my designs, I enjoy exploring the geometric structures and patterns embedded at the core of all living forms. I apply this to wearable objects to create delicate, simple, and reproducible jewellery pieces. These explorations combine with my inspirations and my industrial design background and shape my designs.

My jewellery pieces, affectionately called Geoms, are lovingly handcrafted. They combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional beadwork in silver or glass bugle beads threaded together with nylon thread. To this medium, I sometimes add Swarovski crystals, glass marbles, leather thread and silver chains.

“jewellery, especially beaded jewellery, has symbolism and meaning. It means different things to different people, and throughout history, it has been more than just wearable art.” Anon.

I also love to work on large-scale delicate and intricate handmade wearable contemporary pieces that are more theatrical. The humble glass bugle bead is an element that supports the exploration of geometric patterns and structures.

Handcrafting these geometric patterns and structures with small elements (beads) and a continuous uniting thread emphasises the interconnectedness and omnipresence of sacred geometric patterns and structures. It reminds us of our relationship to the whole.
