I believe I am living a designer’s dream. I have the ability to design the most elaborate jewellery under the Secrets brand – a rare opportunity.My passion with art and design started at high school and I was always intrigued by jewellery. Needless to say I pursued this vocation and combined my love of design and jewellery.Throughout my career as a jewellery manufacturer and designer, I produced and sold designs at an 80/20 ratio, opposing the normal trend. 80% of my designs were successful in style and sales with large retail customers. This remains something I’m very proud of.I am driven to push design boundaries to achieve beautiful design at acceptable costs that benefit both the business and our valued customers. Two key accomplishments in my current role are bringing new designs to Secrets and sourcing new vendors to increase our supplier network.My career in jewellery has allowed me to travel to all parts of the globe and amass a substantial network in the industry. My knowledge and understanding of designing and selling luxury jewellery extend beyond design and includes sourcing, pricing, negotiation and forward projection towards global trends.My attraction to joining the Secrets team was firstly the challenge and enjoyment this brings, and secondly the strength of brand and vision which provides endless opportunities. Secrets has the opportunity to redefine the simulated diamond, driven by design. I play a critical role in the future of our success, being a vital component to take this brand to the level we dream it can achieve and I am proud to have this opportunity in my career.
