After making jewellery as a hobby for years, I've finally taken the leap to share my creations with the world as an emerging jewellery designer.

‍

I am just starting this new chapter, and hope that taking part in art events will be a wonderful way to meet people and introduce my work.

‍

My designs bring together my love of natural gemstones, astrology and all the little things that inspire me.

I've loved natural gemstones since I was a child, and during the pandemic I became fascinated by astrology.

‍

I decided to bring these interests together through creativity and founded North Node Studio. For years, friends encouraged me to sell my jewellery, but I never quite had the confidence to take the leap. Seeing a ceramic artist I know build connections and grow her creative practice through markets and events inspired me to think I'd love to try something like this in London. That was the beginning of North Node Studio.

‍

‍
Since starting, I've discovered a whole new world. The joy of getting completely absorbed in a creative process, the excitement (and nerves!) of connecting with a creative community, and the unexpected possibilities that come with putting my work out into the world.

‍

‍
I'm still at the beginning of this journey, but I've already discovered how much I love being part of it. Perhaps this is exactly what the North Node is about. Stepping into something unknown and discovering where it leads!
