About me
I am a Product Designer who wants to design user-friendly objects. I am currently based in the Greater London area and study BA Product and Furniture Design at Kingston School of Art. I have a wealth of studio and workshop experience, and have worked on projects both independently and in groups.

I have had the opportunity to work with a number of companies including: Foster + Partners, Sony, Le Toy Van, Joined + Jointed, Robin and Lucienne Day Foundation, Maybrey Reliance, Le K2 Collections, Capezzone Architecture and The Visual Safari Company.
