OUR DESIGNER

 

• Marina is a Greek born jewellery designer now living in London

• Studied Economics, Statistics and Management Science in Athens, Lancaster and Essex

• Lived in Edinburgh while working as business analyst

• Realized she preferred a more creative job and got a position as junior fashion editor for a Publication Group in Athens

• At the same time she took classes in jewellery making, sculpture and textiles

• Designing and working with her hands to create objects brought to her life something precious, lost somewhere in the transition between childhood and adulthood; the love for playing and experimenting just for the sake of enjoying oneself and gaining new knowledge

• Realized she wanted to be a creative person herself rather than the one who writes about creative people

• After two years she left the world of publications to study jewellery making in Athens and never looked back

• Her studies in Athens were technique based and equipped her with sound knowledge on a number of traditional jewellery making techniques

• On her third year of studies was convinced she would become a Repoussé and Chasing artist after falling in love with the technique!

• She continued her studies in London were she got an MA in Jewellery Design from Sir John Cass Department of Art, Architecture and Design

• During her studies in London she focused on exploring different materials and familiarized herself with contemporary technologies in jewellery making such as 3-D printing

• A year after graduating Marina launched her brand
