Summary

Experienced Jewellery Designer & CAD Specialist with a strong technical foundation, a creative eye, and a genuine love for the industry. I work full time at one of Hatton Garden’s busiest and most respected workshops, where I create production ready models, collaborate with the bench team, and oversee 3D printing and prototyping. Alongside this, I run a design consultancy, take on freelance commissions, and assist with creative direction and design for a growing online bespoke brand. Known for my upbeat energy, warm approach, and deep respect for craftsmanship, I thrive in environments where creativity and precision meet. Whether I’m helping reimagine an heirloom, supporting a first time bespoke client, or working with the workshop to refine a design for production, I bring enthusiasm, care, and clarity to every stage of the process. I’m now looking to grow within a company that takes a more focused and considered approach to jewellery design where creativity, quality, and long term development are part of the culture.
