Hi, I’m Max! I am interested in an ever-expanding range of things, including the creative, practical and theoretical aspects of design. From my art background, I love to convey ideas through drawing.

From 2018-2019, I interned at award-winning bespoke sculptural lighting company, Haberdashery, in London. During the year long placement, I was involved in the research, conceptualisation, development, critiquing, manufacturing, assembling and installing of sculptures.
Outside of design, I love creating and listening to a wide range of music, going to gigs, getting lost in a good film (and in a good book), film photography, long-distance running, cycling, and socialising
