Where it all began...

This is me as a toddler with my grandad, who first sparked my fascination with clocks and all things mechanical. I used to sit beside him watching with intent, mesmerised by the gears and ticking sounds. He could fix anything and make anything, he even made a mini steam engine!

That early curiosity never left me, and now I get to bring it to life through my jewellery - taking movements apart to be upcycled and even making some pieces made from old watch parts remind me of those moments.
