"Top craftsmanship with inventive design and functionality, these are fundamental in my work. In essence, in depth research, original design with decorative features where everything is made to the highest standards. My technical work requires focused concentration and skill to produce quality outcomes, and I do all scales of precious metalwork.

I always extending my technical learning and manufacturing capabilities, these are crucial to me and I am very interested in reviving traditional techniques in combination with technology i.e. Puk welding. This old and new creates a different visual identity and the main techniques I use at present are; wire applications, hand engraving, puk welding, engine turning and enamelling.

I find and utilise inspiring research from nature and in particular, organic forms and geometry with its infinite creations for patterns and textures. For example, observing the linear qualities of water provide plenty of material for the decorative detailing in my designs and I also incorporate aspects of Korean and European aesthetics.

My designs start as freehand drawings, are then taken into 3D forms with models and Marquette’s. These are subsequently transferred onto computer. I work well using both hand and machine technical skills to realize my designs and concepts.

I have much to learn, explore, experiment and develop, an exciting prospect where my work and reputation means everything to me. I love what I do and aim to make a great contribution to design".
