About me

I was born in Hong Kong and moved to New Zealand with my family when I was 8. I studied architecture in Auckland University and have been working in architecture for 15 years.

I had always had the dream of making my own jewellery. Now that my children goes to school, I was able to start a beginner jewellery making course with Workshop 6 to learn the basics of the craft. I further developed my skills through lots of research and experiment. I taught myself jewellery making in any free time I can squeeze out of my busy family life.

All my designs are inspired by all those around me - my family, my plants, even my frustrations. I channel all these into my creative work, and each piece is created by hand in exquisite detail. All my pieces are brought to life in my little studio in Auckland.

Currently, I am working part time while also looking after my little girl and little boy - but there’s always time to bring my passion to life!

I can’t wait to show you more of my work!
