The Lady and the Laser Beam

I’m a product design graduate based in the High Peak, perfectly situated between Manchester and Sheffield at the foot of Kinder Scout.
I specialise in using a CO2 laser cutter to cut and engrave predominantly acrylic, wood, bamboo, cork, card and slate in order to create everything from signage to jewellery to homewares and more in-between.
My work is a combination of my own designs, artist and brand collaborations, commissions from individuals, small businesses, community projects and corporate clients.
My personal design work draws from a wide range of influences. From the beautiful surroundings of the Peak District, music, politics and pop culture, it is often sprinkled with humour and nod to the zeitgeist.
There are many and various development journeys to arrive at a finished piece. Some pieces start as hand drawings, some as lino cuts and some are designed digitally from the get go. I then use a combination of materials and laser cutting and engraving techniques to bring the ideas to life, inking, painting, assembling and finishing by hand.
My jewellery has adorned drag artists, lead singers, stand up comedians and has even made an appearance on 8 Out f 10 Cats Do Countdown. Everything I produce is adaptable, and can be adjusted so if you like something but would like it tweaking, get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.
