Rowena trained as a silversmith at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, and has worked across a range of creative disciplines including textiles, millinery and costume. She is interested in the meeting point between ethical, sustainable design, and exciting new technologies such as laser cutting. 

Rowena’s most recent work has been in the field of jewellery design, and developed out of a desire to produce a range of striking contemporary jewellery using locally and responsibly sourced materials, combining hand craft with laser technology. This marrying of nature and technology is reflected visually in her work, which is derived from the geometry inherent in natural forms.
