About me
I'm a British multidisciplinary designer with a background in sculpture and furniture design. With a focus on bronze casting I completed my BA at Chelsea College of Art. I found my way into design studying furniture and product design at The Cass School of Design in London and have worked in various fields of furniture, set design and interior design. I'm a keen gardener, guitar player, maker and is happiest when using my hands. For me good design comes from striving to really understand a situation on a human level. Sometimes that means reading between the lines. I believe this is where an understanding of art and psychology is particularly handy. How does an object, surface or space make you feel? What does it enable you to think or to do? Understanding an issue at its root often requires creative methods of investigation. This is where designers can be best placed to help bridge the gap between technology and the human reality of their application.
