I have always been interested in traditional crafts but never fully felt satisfied making things that have been made over and over again. I felt the need to take traditional crafts a step further by adding my own flare. With this in mind, my work has become an exploration of different materials, often using vibrant and interesting colours, drawing inspiration from my heritage and nature to create unique pieces.
