Born in the UK in 1979, Eleanor’s passion for making began between her father’s woodshed, constructing all manner of intriguing toys and her mother’s sewing basket. From an early age she showed exceptional creative ability, turning her hand to almost anything. Since her messy days in the woodshed her skills and ingenuity have been refined. These early creative beginnings lead Eleanor to study for a BA in Jewellery Design at Middlesex University, London this was followed by an MA in Textiles at Goldsmiths College, London. Throughout her education and beyond Eleanor has worked for the likes of Erickson Beamon, Lesley Vik Wadell and Kirt Holmes. Since launching her own collection in 2007 she has also collaborated with Swarovski, designing for their fashion jewellery department in Paris.
