Ionas work is both material and process led, she firmly believes in the importance of craftsmanship and the benefit of making with our hands. All of her work is made with functionality in mind, they are designed and made to be used every day in the home. 

Inspiration for Ionas work comes not only from the material and the function but also from natural variations in our landscape, specifically the coastlines of the UK and Ireland. Drawing on her time studying marine biology, aswell as two years living by the sea in County Waterford, she incorporates subtle textures and colours of the geology and biodiversity of our coastlines into her work.
