About

As an artist and footballer, my work is rooted with my journey at Dundee University Women’s Football Club, where I experienced first-hand the resilience, energy, and pride of the women’s game. I channel these experiences into wearable art that celebrates identity, perseverance, and community — pieces designed to spark conversation and inspire girls to remain in sport. I am passionate about amplifying the visibility of female athletes, I create bold, inclusive designs that honour the women who have shaped football and challenge what sporting success can look like: unapologetically visible, joyful, and powerful.

The SheRise Collection inspires girls to stay in sport — especially women’s football — while celebrating the growth and resilience of the women’s game. Rooted in my own journey, each piece honours the role models who shaped me and uplifts the next generation. Football-inspired STUD earrings spark conversation with playful pride, while rainbow-hued eco-friendly jesmonite medals, joined by hidden magnets, become intimate tokens of solidarity. Bold colours and reimagined forms replace traditional medals, reframing sporting success as identity, perseverance, and community — celebrating women’s impact on the game and championing football as an inclusive space.
