'I am absolutely addicted to the process of making jewellery - from creating a design concept, applying it to a piece of metal, forming it, using fire, texture and at times, adorning with semi-precious gems to create a unique piece. I love the flash of colour as light passes through a gem; the shimmering reflection of light as it hits textured metal.

My ultimate aspiration is to create visually appealing jewellery, with meaningful design, which elicits an emotional connection to the wearer.' - Julie Hoskin-Brandt
