Responsible for the visual and creative aspects of high end bike frame design from initial concept sketches, visual language, ideation to technical problem solving and fine detailing. I was also heavily involved in the integration of the motor and battery system in the Powerplay e-bike line including development of the controls, display and UI/UX flow.

CLUG started as the simple answer to the question, "can't you do something about those bikes in the corner?". After a successful kickstarter campaign, CLUG has grown into range of tiny and elegant clips capable of storing a bike in the most minimal way possible.CLUG was mentioned in GQ "best stuff of the year 2014" and received 2nd place in the 2015 Dieline Awards for the minimal yet useful packaging.

Created products for Moj.io and Bubblepix.

At Tin Horse I worked with major FMCG brands on a variety of projects from innovation and strategy based to technical executions in structural packaging, product and pharmaceutical fields. Here I had an active role throughout the design process. In addition, I was principally responsible for the majority of CAD data output, as part of the complete development and prototyping process to make concepts ready for manufacture, whilst maintaining the integrity of the design.Occasionally stepping into the shoes of a researcher, I have conducted consumer interviews in the UK, Mainland Europe and China and regularly moderate in-house and in-home research, as part of large scale innovation projects and insight generation.

Worked on a number of key accounts, primarily British Telecom, exposing me to user-based research and holistic design approaches. This gave me great visibility of working in a product focussed agency and an early opportunity to develop key skills.

At BMW I developed an interest in all aspects of modelling and visualisation. This included learning and using Catia V5, Maya and RTT Deltagen, producing photo-realistic renders, CAD modelling and high-end real-time visualisations. I fully embraced the German culture and took the initiative to develop my language skills to a conversational level.
