I am a proud Gubbi-Gubbi and Gunggari man born into a family of seven. My parents grew up in Murgon, Qld and I was raised in Samford where I grew up with my brothers and sister along with lots and lots of animals. During that time my mum started her own business which has inspired me to start my own as well, following in her footsteps. I chose to start a jewellery brand because I have always gravitated towards creative hobbies and my brother, who is my best friend loves drawing and is incredible at it, he’s who I can thank for my love of creative things. Being Aboriginal I have a strong connection to the land and storytelling, this inspired the idea to add stories to each piece to make the stories we cherish, everlasting moments. This jewellery brand is my chance to make an impact and share pieces of my story to remind others to live in the moment and appreciate what you have.

I was born in Australia to Indonesian parents and am so proud of my heritage. I have a big extended family even though I am an only child, which means I have been surrounded by strong, hardworking, and intelligent role models all my life. My mum’s love of fashion and her drive inspired me to want to always strive for my dreams and find creative outlets. My dad’s love of learning and work ethic found its way into my designs and pushed me to find the time to work on building George & Co. Each piece in our collection is inspired by a moment or person in our lives that have supported our journey or touched our lives.
