I have extensive experience in a broad spectrum of design, from design research and product design to transport design and architecture and from ideation to manufacture.I gained an art scholarship to attend St Edwards School and graduated with a 1st class degree in product design from Central St Martins College.During school and through university I was training and competing as an elite athlete representing Team GB, which required discipline, time management and teamwork.After graduating I gained experience working within a research center alongside Politicians and policy makers, Professors of design, psychology and criminology and even Law Enforcement.I was then offered an opportunity in Shanghai which became full time employment. This gave me extensive experience working in the far east, an understanding of Asian cultures and first hand experience inside factories which was my introduction to designing for manufacture. Working with a great team, we designed many award winning products, some of which I still use daily.Back in the UK, I took a job as a design engineer which required me to learn many complex engineering principles, including fluid dynamics, acoustics, materials science and an extensive knowledge of plastic injection moulding, which extended my DfM experience. Here I took projects from ideation through extensive development cycles to manufacture, making many design decisions and shaping a number of products that are used in millions of households. See design patents section for more detail.I then moved to an award winning London design consultancy to run projects in a wide range of design specialising in aeronautical interiors and products, and branching out to rail, and the hospitality sector with hotels, residential and commercial developments and cruise ships. We have an exciting portfolio of clients with our work flying all over the world and even have work in the permanent exhibition in the Design Museum.
