What is your colour palette?
I favour neutral colours rather than pristine, primary ones. I like colours to have an aura of melancholy. White is seminal – as it reminds me of light – and it is where textures stand out, as you may see the volume created by shadows.
How do you use debris as an inspiration?
I collect materials. I experiment and salvage them, through manipulation I look for textures. My working process is based on creative freedom, I put together all the different pieces, looking for balance and tension among materials, shapes and textures.

Do you wear jewellery?
I used to, mostly charms gifted to me, but don’t as much anymore as I do not feel it is safe while handling tools in the workshop. I occasionally still wear gifted pieces as they remind me of people and my creations – but only really on special occasions.
Which piece of jewellery do you cherish most?
Brooches – because they allow freedom to the body – there is no restraint in wearing a brooch. And I sometimes wear earrings, they are almost an extension of the body – I find the way in which earrings mirror the way the wearer moves is like playing with gravity.
