Pop Ya Collar!

A choker i created from brass sheet and persex, all cut with a hand saw and riveted myself.
The idea behind this piece was that it could be worn with collared garments in replacement of a tie or other form of neckwear. The jewellery piece could almost be considered a garment itself, blurring the lines between costume jewellery and clothing.

A date with New York City.

My editorial which was used in a student online fashion magazine at Parsons.
Each of these people were randomly selected on the Streets of New York on a cold day in December... I had the pleasure of getting to know them beyond the interviews. Each one of them had an amazing story to tell. *Click to enlarge and scroll through each interview.

My New York.

A video i made with all my original footage and imagery over the past 6 months i have spent living in the most amazing city in the world. New York you were everything i imagined and so much more. I will miss you and remember our time together for the rest of my life.

I made all garments and accessories myself during my 'Unfashion' class in the fall semester of 2010 at Parsons School for Design, New York.

Animal Instinct

A range of jewellery designed for Australian company 'Tuskc'.



Every woman has an inner beast within the depths of her soul ready to be unleashed in the wilderness. ‘Instinct’ captures the essence of these beastly extraordinary creatures through subtly referencing the beautiful and understated anatomy within wild animals.
My jewellery range ‘instinct’, tells the story of the unknown masked wild spirit within the woman, by alluding to the organic structure of various monstrous beastie. Each wearable piece figuratively references the abstract patterns and shapes of organic bones, fangs, claws, tusks, spinal and skull fragments.
