Joana Pires is a self-taught jewellery designer who uses mixed media to create her pieces.

Brazilian, based in London, UK, Joana graduated in both Drama and Cinema.

She spent over 12 years as an actress and producer before founding Pinah and becoming a full-time maker.

Her work is experimental, and her final pieces are raw, playful and wearable.

Through her pieces, Joana wants to explore the possibilities of what a piece of jewellery can be and what story it can tell
