But it doesn't stop there......


Designing 'stuff' is what I do, I live it everyday in my job and at home, every object I own has been considered on some design level, whether it be function or aesthetic. I don't like to be pigeon holed as an Web/Interior/Product/Graphic Designer as you are immediately limited as to the type of work you do and there is cross over. Design is, at it's most basic; problem solving. I have 'solved problems' in many disciplines and firmly believe the ability to design is something you've either got or you haven't (as it is with maths or nuclear physics, which I do not possess!) and then the application comes from training and experience, but just because you've designed kitchen utensils doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't design the packaging and POS for them too.

I am equally at home designing spaces as I am websites or products, and like the challenge of taking on something outside my comfort zone.

what have I done, where have I been.....

I've displayed taps, I've helped urban folks with the gardening, I've made it easier to carry headache tablets (and to remember their name), I've sexed up detergents, I've branded buildings and spaces, I've launched stationery to the cosmos and sent children's toys to the desert, I've created functional spaces, I've created beautiful spaces, from domestic houses to shopping centres. I've helped promote a band, sell houses and shelter the homeless. Design is what I do.

 

I graduated from the BA (Hons) Product Design Course at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in 1996 and started working freelance in London gaining experience working with some major players such as Design Bridge, Webb Scarlett and Futurebrand, working predominantly on branded structural packaging concepts for food/beverage and cosmetic/medical containers.

During this time I also designed a range of executive desktop products for US stationary Giant ‘Myron Manufacturing’, including Pens, stainless steel bookmarks, key rings, card cases & luggage tags which won the award for most innovative new product range at the Musee D’Expression product show in Paris.

I then went to work for various Architects/Interior Specialists as Product/Environments Designer, designing bespoke elements from furniture & lighting to balustrades & sculptural elements for domestic and commercial developments. I have also been heavily involved with graphic design & branding from brochures to signage, development & implementation of brands.

In recent years I’ve worked mostly in Interior Design and Graphics for clients including The British Musuem, Crest Nicholson and Stannah. I maintain a healthy interest in all things design, keeping abreast of current trends and developments.
