Since starting my studies at De Montfort University, I have found glass to be the medium best suited to me as a designer / maker. I spend many hours experimenting with my ideas using different techniques and processes. I particularly love the unexpected occurrences that create whole new ideas. My inspiration comes from various sources, including talking to other people about my work and I often find differing opinions and challenging questions bring new ideas helping my projects develop.

I like to use my initiative when interpreting a project brief and want my creations to be unique. In recent work I have been inspired by stained glass within Cathedrals. Looking at the colours, patterns and optical qualities of the windows in relation to the cathedrals in which they are placed and how they relate to Christian beliefs. Creating collections of vessels, tableware and wall hangings using various murine techniques.
