A collection of the interviews, features and coverage CROÍ MEALA has received. Derived from the Irish phrase "a heart of honey", CROÍ MEALA is inspired by the storytelling and folklore of my homelands, and everything is handmade by me in my studio using only recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones. Since launching in 2022, the brand has taken part in several pop-ups, been worn by actress Emma Laird and featured in Galway Now. In 2026, I hand-struck a silver coin collection for Culture Vannin's Year of the Manx Language, Blein ny Gaelgey, using historic Viking die-striking techniques, which is now held in the Manx National Museum archive. Most notably, I was named Best Emerging Maker at the Design & Crafts Council Ireland's Future Makers Awards 2026, with press coverage from the Irish Arts Review, RTÉ and IMAGE.
