Expertise in Practice
The jewellery industry doesn’t always need another role. Sometimes it needs the right expertise, exactly at the point it’s needed.
Studio Smithson York is a creative practice for independent jewellery brands. From developing the next collection to strengthening an existing one, bringing an experienced outside perspective to a challenge or stepping into the business itself, the practice brings the expertise to move the work forward.
CREATE
New Product Development
Have the insight, opportunity or brief, but need someone to turn it into jewellery? I work from your market research, merchandising insight or creative brief to develop new products and collections from concept through design, development and sampling, working alongside your existing teams and partners.
EVOLVE
Existing Collection Development
Have an existing collection with more to give? I can review, extend and develop existing collections, creating new pieces, categories or variations that build on what is already there while protecting the design language that made it distinctive in the first place.
CONSULT
Jewellery Design & Development Consultancy
Need an experienced eye? Bring me a collection, product, process or problem. I can review what’s happening, identify where opportunities are being missed and give you an independent perspective grounded in jewellery design and development. I can leave you with the direction, or stay to help solve it.
Start a conversation
Whether you have a new idea to develop, an existing collection to evolve, a challenge that could use a fresh perspective, or you’re looking for someone to work more closely with your team, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Tell me a little about your brand, where you are in the process and what you might need from me.
