I was born in Germany but grew up in the south of France. After my Baccalauréat, I studied Design at the University of Brighton, UK (2003-2006) and went on to do a MA in Jewellery at the Birmingham School of Jewellery UK, which I completed with Distinction (2009). I completed my practical skills training with a classical goldsmith apprenticeship at the Werkstattgalerie/Brodhag in Berlin (graduated with Distinction in Feb-2012).
