For the past three and a half, I was employed by Legle, a French company based in Limoges and Asia who produce quality porcelain for the high end and luxury hotel market. My role as a designer was to produce and present the bespoke design projects for each individual hotel. A strong understanding of the client, space and time frame is essential to designing tablewares that sticks to their brief whilst pushing the boundaries of what they thought possible.

Education
BA(Hons) Design
- London, United Kingdom
In late 2013 I completed a BA in Design at Goldsmiths University of London. Throughout my three years of learning I was encouraged to push beyond traditional boundaries and act through design to effect change and engagement. This course, combined with the refining of my own critical & creative practice, helped me understand that a strong idea shaped with good thought process can be more effective than designing something that only aesthetically pleases. (Although looks are important too.)
