I am a clockmaker and conservator based in West Sussex, with a passion for traditional craft and materials science, accredited by both the Institute of Conservation (ICON) and the British Horological Institute (BHI). I undertook my initial clockmaking training at West Dean College, before going on to complete an MA in Conservation Studies, graduating with Distinction in 2019.

Since graduating I have worked extensively in the commercial repair and heritage conservation sectors, providing remedial conservation and collections consultancy for museums, historic houses and private clients, both locally and nationally. I have also taught practical clock repair skills to students at West Dean College, where I was a weekly Subject Tutor from 2021 - 2024, and I continue to regularly write and lecture on both horological history and conservation theory.
