Redundancy led to jewellery venture and 'creative haven' as Irish designer is nominated for Business of Craft award

"Culu Design is my little creative haven where I make bold statement jewellery from my home studio. I specialise in colourful, eclectic designs, made from polymer clay, and I pour my heart and two-plus years of experience into every piece."

"Culu comes from the Irish word for 'retreat,' and that's exactly what this business is for me, a retreat for the senses and a return to my creative roots."

"I wanted to do something meaningful and create something personal and more sustainable, a small rebellion against the throwaway culture of fast fashion and the lack of individuality it promotes."

"I limit my designs, I'm not releasing a massive collection because I want each piece to hold special significance, which connects me deeper with my craft and customers."
