I studied Textile Crafts at Huddersfield University in 2008. Once leaving I returned to the North East where I volunteered at Globe Gallery for about 9 months. I also started to make jewellery during this time. In September 2009 I started studying a masters in Arts, Business and Creativity at Newcastle University Business School. Whilst still running my jewellery design company.
