Jewellery making has taught me resilience, dedication, and the joy of building something from scratch. I use 100% recycled silver, hand-picked sea glass, and plastic-free packaging because sustainability is at the heart of what I do. Sea glass holds a special meaning for me – growing up visiting the Isle of Islay, where my mum is from, I’d spend hours collecting shells and colourful glass on the beach. What once felt like treasure to a curious child now inspires my work: each piece of sea glass is naturally tumbled and polished by the sea over years – sometimes even decades – shaped by nature into something beautifully imperfect. What others might overlook as “rubbish,” I see as an opportunity to create something meaningful.

Alongside jewellery, I work part-time for a lovely florist in Glasgow and also create bespoke floral installations for small businesses. My creative energy also spills into photography – especially film photography – where I find joy in capturing life’s fleeting moments, whether that’s in the Scottish Highlands or the rainforests of Central America. I’ve always had a love for the natural world and wildlife, and growing up, I was fascinated by the photographers and filmmakers who captured those moments. My favourite film, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, especially fuels my passion for shooting on film – there’s something magical about knowing you only get one chance to capture a moment, and embracing it for exactly what it is.

I come from a family who run their own small business, so supporting other independent makers and local creatives is something I hold close to my heart.

With the support of friends and family, I continue to build this little creative haven – and my hope is that by sharing my story through videos, future blogs and content, I can inspire others (especially the next generation of dreamers and doers) to follow their passions and carve out a life that brings them joy.
