About KJ

Hi, I’m KJ.

Give me a new tool and something to figure out, and I’m in my element.

I’m passionate about making and happily obsessed with tools. Hammer & Heart is where I experiment with hand stamping, explore the character of different metals, and keep learning the art of jewellery making.

I hold a Bachelor of Business and have worked in HR, as a Reiki Master and as a Support Worker. These days, I’m happiest with a tool in my hand and something new to discover.

I’m a certified Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master. Some of my pieces are charged with Reiki, and special requests are welcome.

I’m a late-diagnosed AuDHD maker, a member of the queer community, and a mum to two kids and five cats. I was born and raised in Lake Macquarie, on Awabakal Country.

Made by KJ

Every piece starts with a blank.

Then come the words, the hammer marks and the small variations that make it yours.
