I am an artisan and creative director specialising in luxury handbags and accessories.

​

I know how to design and make a luxury handbag, and I teach others how to do it. But what truly drives my practice is the opportunity to explore how a brand’s values, identity and symbolism can be expressed through an object.

​

My background spans costume design from mixed media, luxury accessories design and craftsmanship, product development, manufacturing and brand creation. This varied experience allows me to move comfortably between creative thinking and the realities of making, working with materials ranging from fabrics, leather and metal to wood and precious stones.

​

I thrive on experimentation and on innovative projects that challenge what I already know. I am continuously looking for new ways to develop products, explore materials and techniques, and push an idea further than its obvious solution.

I work with brands, designers and clients to translate ideas and identity into distinctive, well-resolved objects—bringing together creative direction, material exploration and the knowledge of how things are actually made.
