ceramics / illustration / storytelling
about me
I'm a London-based visual artist working across ceramics and illustration. Shaped by a persistent search for belonging that often accompanies an international upbringing, my work explores how material culture gives authority and form to collective belief systems.
Drawing on my background in archival research, I'm interested in fringe traditions and esoteric ideologies at the edges of recorded history. Through intricate illustration and narrative ceramics, I revisit fundamental mythologies of love, sex and death with dark humour and historical research.

Inspired by vintage playing cards, this handmade ceramic lidded jar combines bold striped decoration with hand-carved illustrations of traditional playing card suits. Encircled by the phrase "Play Your Cards Right and Fortune May Follow", the jar celebrates luck, chance and the stories we tell through symbols.
Wheel-thrown as a closed form with a carefully trimmed lid, every surface is carved using the sgraffito technique before being hand-painted and glazed. Designed as both a functional storage vessel and a sculptural centrepiece, each jar is entirely one of a kind.

This handmade ceramic tumbler features an abstract pattern inspired by organic forms, topographic maps and mid-century graphic design. Hand-painted in vivid lime green and black, the flowing motif wraps continuously around the vessel, creating a different composition from every angle.
Thrown on the wheel from white stoneware and finished with a glossy glaze, the tumbler balances bold graphic decoration with an ergonomic form that sits comfortably in the hand. Suitable for coffee, tea, water or display, it is a functional everyday object that doubles as a sculptural piece.

Inspired by the symbolism of the rose in folklore, this hand-carved sgraffito tumbler is a celebration of hope and brighter days ahead. Encircled by roses, strawberries, birds and crescent moons, the design centres on the optimistic phrase "Everything's Coming Up Roses"—a cheerful reminder that good fortune often blooms when it's least expected.
Each tumbler is individually hand carved using the sgraffito technique before being glazed and fired, making every piece unique.

Which rat of the sky is destined for your flock?
Long before they were accused of loitering outside bakeries and bus stops all over the world, pigeons were messengers, omens and supernatural companions. They may have fallen from grace in the public imagination, but they're proof that even when life gets a bit peck-ish, we can always find a way to wing it.
This limited-edition series celebrates the humble pigeon in all its scruffy glory. Each bird has its own personality, making every illustration a tiny folkloric familiar waiting to find its keeper.
Collect your own mystery feathered companion from a flock of 14 individual pigeons. You won’t know which feathered companion has chosen you until your randomly selected bird arrives at your door. Whether it’s the most dignified cooer or the one that looks like it would steal your chips without remorse, a pigeon will find its way to you.
