  • Letter Rail
    Letter RailProduct designed for SCP’s ‘Boxed collection’. Most posted material ends up on the floor, long forgotten by the busy homeowner. No longer will the bills be forgotten, the love letters lost, and the menus ignored. Instead they will be stuck between two planks of solid ash, around 1.4 metres off the floor, for everyone to see. Selected by SCP to be put into production.
  • Tall Stories
    Tall StoriesAn experiment with the value of objects. Using textured forms and a back story to add value in the form of a personal connection. Whether the stories are true or false, they present the idea of how we value objects, and why this changes our behaviour towards them. Plaster casts laid into boxes, labelled "STORY OF A SURFACE".

    BA Product and Furniture DesignKingston School of Art & Design
     - London, United Kingdom
    A design course with a focus on the individual's belief in design. Students are able to seek out how they wish to impact their world, from industrial design, to future thinkers, to critical design. With a large high quality workshop, the students are able to explore and materialise ideas. I learnt a lot in my time at Kingston, finding my way around a workshop, learning not only the tools and techniques of making but, how to work under pressure in a fast paced environment. I also found my place in critical and contextual design, trying to understand people before product.
