About Snowflake Designs
Jewellery can have a very emotive response, whether reacting to something visually beautiful, associating significance to the elements it's made of or perhaps the person that chose an item for us; it tells a story about who we are and what is important to us. I want to help people tell their stories, find their talismans and express themselves. To some, my aspirations may appear somewhat lofty, romanticised or sentimental for a new business, possibly they are, that tells you something about who I am and my values.
Only a few years ago I did not imagine that I would have my own creative business (check out Snowflake Designs online shop). I worked for large global corporations for the last 16 years with degrees in Chemistry and Business and although I've enjoyed my work in the past, I've often felt that it didn't reflect a large part of the person I am. Since my teens I have dabbled in arts and crafts in my spare time and took up jewellery making as a hobby. Once I could make pieces of good quality I started designing bespoke items for friends and family as gifts and now I am embarking on a new adventure and sharing my creations. Establishing my own business is a daunting prospect, and already required me to learn a whole bunch of new skills but I have never felt so creative and free in my work as I do now and I'm relishing the opportunity to do what makes me happy.
