Award-winning jewellery designer and manufacturer with 20 years of experience across bespoke, commercial, stone-set, bridal, fashion, and artistic jewellery. My background includes original concept development, collection and capsule-family design, diamond and gemstone jewellery, wedding bands, alternative materials, sculptural work, and production-minded commercial ranges. My work has been recognised through national and international awards and featured in publications, catalogues, exhibitions, and commercial collections. Having worked hands-on in both design and manufacturing, I bring an understanding of proportion, wearability, stone placement, construction, finishing, and the practical realities of moving a design from concept into production. I can assist with: • Jewellery concept design • Collection and capsule-family development • Bespoke jewellery design • Stone-set jewellery concepts • Bridal and diamond jewellery • Fashion and commercial jewellery collections • Sketch-based design pages for CAD or manufacturing handoff • Design refinement and motif development My style range is broad — from refined luxury and bridal jewellery to bold artistic pieces, sculptural forms, commercial collections, and material-led design. I approach each project with sensitivity to aesthetics, brand identity, wearability, manufacturing practicality, and commercial appeal.

We consider Lee-Anne to be exceptional in her grasp of this standard and she contributed to our own understanding in her time working with us. She is a gifted designer, able to distill complex ideas into clear designs. Unlike generative AI, she can produce a consistent well reasoned design across a domain of knowledge. She is a true teacher and trusted guide." "Lee-Anne is a pleasure to work with and provides both high-quality and fast/efficient work product." "Lee-Anne designed our whole app for us, and we loved to work together with her. We needed an expert who brings his/her own ideas to the table and is not afraid to provide critical feedback to our ideas if required - and she delivered. If the chance arises, we will choose Lee-Anne again." "Lee-Anne has a great sense of design, and we really liked her work. She communicates very well, and is delightful to work with. Our project ended early, but we will definitely hire her again when the project re-opens." "Amazing ux/ui designer, skilled, curious and passionate about solving users problems." "Lee-Anne is a very skilful designer, she made sure understood all our requirements and even went beyond doing her own research. The result was a fantastic design: visually and use. Sure we will be working again."
