I am a potter working from my home studio in south-east London, UK, with my dog, Ezra. I predominantly create wheel-thrown and hand-built functional homewares, collaborating with brands and small businesses on bespoke commissions in addition to my own minimalist collections. 

I spent the first 20 years of my life growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. I’ve found a cultural balance between the East Anglian countryside and the energy of London over the years, trading the refuge of the countryside for the energy of London, a harmony that continues to influence my work. It’s London’s exuberance that continues to provide opportunities for me, from the makers community through to the small businesses and brands that have an increasing appreciation for handmade crafts. With the world required to pause as of 2020 and spend more time at home, people have had more time to consider the quality of their home possessions, resulting in a wider focus on ceramics in general.
