An experienced creative, I am a loyal team player with a dedicated work ethic. I thrive under the pressure to create something which is innovative and solves a problem. My set design and model making theatre skills have given me a grounded understanding of solution led design and importantly, how to tell a story.
I have translated these skills to a career in multi-disciplined design, having spent the last 13 years leading the creative team at luxury outdoor furniture company, Indian Ocean.
My work included building significant relationships with suppliers, factories and leading global retailers, Harrods and Selfridges. My experience also includes designing and developing furniture, producing exhibition stands and working to create a seamless brand experience, from product inception to retail launch.
I have a strong belief in designing not only beautiful individual pieces but with social responsibility in mind, I love to focus on the purity of quality materials too. My knowledge of materials, their processes and advantages is excellent and built over many years’ experience in the furniture industry. I never stop trying to learn and expand my knowledge base.
