Kia ora koutou, i am a jeweler from Aotearoa, NZ. I studied at Whitireia Polytech for 5 years under Peter Deckers and vast amount of other tutors. I have been out of the institution for nearly 2 years and am trying to find my way in the world of jewellery, fashion and adornment. I have a passion for materials sourced from NZ and use alot of Pounamu (nephrite jade) in my work, along with various metals, techniques etc..I am always interested in learning more, experimenting and seeing what amazing creations other people come up with...to see some of my work go to my website I am very influenced by my culture and politics and am interested in hearing about and from other indigenous jewellers.
