The beauty of working by hand, using ancestral imprints to shape natural materials, is what makes me feel human. Informed by my childhood in Liverpool and my background in fashion, I explore nostalgia, humour, and craftsmanship in a celebration of form and theatrics.

My work holds spirit, heart, and hidden depths. It doesn’t shrink back or bend to aesthetic trends. Its presence is without boundaries. Its creation is authentic and uncompromising; a fantastical, theatrical, joyous exploration of craftsmanship.
