New studio at Fawkner

New home studio in the shed

I have shared a studio with other fabulous jewellers for over a decade. It began at Nicholas Building in 2009-2010, Red Box Studios in 2010-2011, Northcity4 from 2013 to 2019, and then Mycelium Studios from 2019 to 2022. Each experience was unique, and I collaborated with over 50 contemporary jewellery artists. It was a significant period in my career, and I take pride in being part of these wonderful communities.

My family bid farewell to the good old Brunswick and relocated to Fawkner in late July. This suburb feels like one of Melbourne's hidden gems, offering a quiet and safe environment. We now reside in a 1960s-built house with a spacious shed and a granny flat, brimming with potential. From the back door, we can stroll directly into the 'Bababi Djinanang Native Grasslands Reserve.'

As promised to our daughter, we welcomed a red heeler-crossed dog named Tommy into our family. He joyfully runs up and down the grassland every day, and we have grown to love him dearly.

This year has been exceptionally hectic and dramatic for me, marked by numerous changes.
