Born in Switzerland, she trained as a wig maker and make-up artist for theatre, film
and TV.
In 1993 Tatjana moved to New Zealand where she studied 3-D Design at Unitec in
Auckland and graduated in 1998. Intrigued by the narrative between the object and
wearer, she majored in contemporary jewellery.
She draws inspiration from her gut, using resources from her surrounds she attempts
to be as sustainable as possible. Sometimes an idea leads, sometimes the material.
Since 1999 she lives and works in Te Tai Tokerau, her work has been shown in national
and international exhibitions and is held in public and private collections.
