I started making jewellery about four months ago after being let go from my bakery job for a very random reason. With my self esteem pretty low and a whole lot of free time on my hands I officially had no excuse not to launch some sort of small business. I have always struggled to find an outlet that is both expressive, technical and detailed enough for me to fully immerse myself.

I have always drawn and painted throughout my teenage years. Especially in those sticky years of changing schools and struggling with my own intense bouts of depression, anxiety and untreated neuro divergent brain. Often my artworks are based on my stream of thought which can be interesting not only for me but other people to interpret and even identify themselves in the images.

I started hand poke tattooing in shortly after my time at tafe studying fine art. I worked out of my home studio and loved the process and attention to detail it required. Didn’t however love the all over body pain and wrist problems I have to this day. I also found out some pretty nasty stuff about the tattoo industry that put me off pursuing a full career in tattooing especially in a shop setting.

It can be an extremely inconsistent business unfortunately and after months of no bookings and burnout I decided to invest in an online lost wax course (I used sunny on a cloud but I would reccomend you explore real life classes first as I have had a few gaps in my learning after being in a class setting with people who are industry trained rather than self taught). Since then I have just been putting all my energy into mispoke and I’m addicted to making shiny things now.

Throughout my struggles with my own brain and the way it functions I am in constant pursuit — not of happiness — but of being content with life. Therefore I’m often drawn to child-like imagery, nostalgia and melancholic themes that connect to the feeling of being safe, comfortable & grateful.

In my jewellery practice I aim to bring the same intention. Creating every piece inspired by my own conscious effort to follow that desire to heal not only my inner child but nurture myself as you grow.

I hope my pieces can last lifetimes, be borrowed among friends, lost and then found, taken across seas I will never travel and hold meaning beyond any money can buy.
