I run a product design agency working on new products in medical, industrial and consumer markets. I'm an engineer by training and have spent my whole career inventing, researching and developing new ideas.I have always been involved in challenging R&D projects both from a management and technical point of view. My upbringing in a family of engineers gave me a strong foundation. I learned computer programming before I reached double figures and 3D CAD in my teens.At Dyson I worked on groundbreaking technology development projects and several patents to my name. I was also responsible for developing in house tools for engineers in their day to day activities. In consultancy I have used my broad technical knowledge, approachable and friendly personality to deliver projects to a multitude of international brands.At the pioneering perfusion specialists, Spectrum Medical, I lead the mechanical design team, engineering best in class cardiac surgery products for international markets. I worked on perfusion products, cardiac pumps and patient heater-coolers, defining their architecture right through to procuring parts with new suppliers.And now I'm an independent consultant working across multiple sectors, creating new product concepts and engineering robust solutions for customers. I'm a husband, father to 3 boys, baker, ale brewer, motorcyclist and amateur triathlete. I have raised thousands of pounds for Meningitis and men's-health charities.
