You originally hail from Sweden, and moved to Aotearoa some years ago. What inspired you to relocate?
Prior to my studies I worked with different jewellers in the South Island. Coming from Sweden, the jewellery design seemed more free and rustic compared to perfect, minimalistic pieces in Sweden. I enjoyed the freeforms and the imperfections in jewellery I saw in NZ.
During my studies I did two years as an exchange student in Auckland at MIT and with various artists and one of them was John Edgar who offered me a job after graduating with MFA in Sweden. I worked with him as a workshop assistant for two years which was amazing.
