The whole process takes place at home, and I have turned my home into my workshop. I come up with a lot of things at bedtime, lying in bed, but I also get a lot of inspiration from social media, from nature or sometimes I get an idea out of the blue.
I really like to buy jewellery second-hand, for example from vinted, and then take it apart and make something completely different, which is probably my favourite way of doing it, because I make everything from raw materials that I've already made, beads, chains, etc. There's always a lot of experimentation going on, some jewellery I make for myself first, for example with bracelets it's often like this, I try on a prototype bracelet to make sure it's okay, comfortable and sturdy, then when I'm sure I make it, then I make more of them, and if something needs to be fixed, I redo it.
