I began my design journey at NID, exploring diverse fields such as furniture, packaging and game design. While each discipline offered something new to discover, none quite sparked the creative connection I was looking for. During an extended break in the midst of the pandemic, I rediscovered a collection of jewellery sketches I had made years earlier. Revisiting them felt like reconnecting with a long-lost interest, and prompted me to explore jewellery design despite having little experience in the field.

My first internship in jewellery was a leap into the unknown. I was new to jewellery, but not to design — and I soon found myself drawn to the unique combination of form, craftsmanship, material and problem-solving that the medium demanded. What began as an unexpected detour gradually became a discipline I wanted to pursue deeply. This journey led to the launch of my debut collection, which went on to receive recognition both nationally and internationally.

Looking back, jewellery was never part of a carefully laid-out plan. It was an unexpected path that taught me the value of staying curious, letting go of rigid expectations and allowing the right medium to find you. Today, I continue to bring that same curiosity into my work, exploring jewellery through the lens of an industrial designer while developing my own visual language within the craft.
