I offer personalized advice and hands-on guidance throughout the design development and manufacturing process. Drawing upon an extensive network of artisanal workshops as well as large-scale international suppliers, I provide comprehensive support and solutions across every stage of the jewellery production process. With a experience spanning over 16 years in the high jewellery manufacturing industry, my goal is to curate a bespoke journey specializing in developing design concepts, refining product ideas, creating 3D designs, overseeing workshop prototypes, and managing large-scale production requirements. Through a collaborative approach, I am dedicated to transforming your ideas into high-quality jewellery and fostering a lasting relationship of support.
