About Me

I am in my last year of my degree doing a BA (HONS) in Contemporary applied arts. Anything is possible, this is just the start.

Artist Statement



Designer shoes inspire me. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, both structurally and aesthetically, they face almost no constraints; as long as they can be physically worn all other design elements are possible.

I have a strong passion and weakness for shoes. They can be beautiful and make an outfit, and give you great confidence. When wearing heels, they really compliment the body. They push your posture into a shape which shows off all your curves and makes you walk in a different way so you show off everything.
In my work I really push those qualities and make my pieces truly become something completely different compared to the ‘high heel shoe’ which I start with.

I use ceramics because I can really push the material to create my designs. I really enjoy using clay to create my pieces because you can do so much with it when it is in its plastic stage. Within ceramics I will also be creating unusual colours with glazes, transfers and coloured flocks which create my textures and surfaces. These qualities represent my research from fashionable, contemporary designer shoes.
