Annie Li

Personal Statement:

With over 6 years of experience I have trained in traditional bench skills and exciting new technologies. I have left university with knowledge in, but not limited to, stone-setting, anodising, CAD and laser technologies. I am diligent and dedicated to my work; having had to drive back and forth from university four times a week and worked part-time as a jewellery repairer and designer to help fund for university. Not being adverse to challenges I have a willingness to learn new things and improve on my current familiarities.
