She went on to do a year-long residency at GSA to expand on design and making, focusing on honing in on her craft in digital design, specifically using VR equipment. Her interest in VR equipment stems from the endless possibilities in which she can create her jewellery; she enjoys mixing organic and manmade materials combined with distinct colours and soft forms that are unique to her personal style.
