I make jewelry, my favorite material is brass -because of its warm golden color. I also like to work with wood and combine the two materials and found objects.

During my university years I took silversmithing courses while on Erasmus in Turkey. I knew I wanted to make jewelry but it took me a few years to actually start my brand. I’ve been making jewelry for 7 years now, 5 years fully committed to it and now it’s my way of living.
Currently I’m working on a project of my own, trying to recreate flowers in brass and make them into eternal wearable jewelry.

I got very excited when I first discovered the Craftwork project because most of the time my work didn’t really fit in any category. It wasn’t all design nor traditional jewelry and to me it is kind of a craft, so I am happy to be part of this program.
In the past few years I’ve been trying to find some people with similar interests to see their way of creating and to get to know other artists and mostl that’s what I expect from this mobility, to meet others, exchange ideas and create together.

I expect to exchange ideas with artists from different countries, learn new sustainable jewelry-making techniques, improve my creative and intercultural skills, and build international connections that will support my future artistic work.
