Kirsten Manzi is an Independent Jewellery Designer & Maker based in Dundee, Scotland. After graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone with a degree in Jewellery and Metal Design in 2013, Kirsten spent some time travelling around Europe.

Upon returning to Dundee, Kirsten began working in a local jewellery workshop while taking on freelance projects and commissions. This enabled her to set up Kirsten Manzi Jewellery Design and launch her debut collection of structural, handmade, silver jewellery.

Working with abandon, Kirsten designs through making, discovering a piece’s final form in the workshop rather than in sketchbooks.

Kirsten's work reflects the shapes, structure and textures of the built-up urban environment through delicate silver jewellery for everyday wear. Kirsten also works with customers to create one off and bespoke commissions.

Each piece is designed, handmade and finished in Kirsten’s home studio in Dundee.

I worked with Kirsten after finishing my internship with Scarlett Erskine to produce online content for Kirsten's business. There is a strong creative jewellery network in Dundee and Kirsten wanted her work to stand out from the crowd. In this project we worked on a website redesign, branding and product photography.
