Whilst my designs are inspired by the natural environment, I also like to incorporate industrial materials and processes into my work. I have a keen focus on environmental and social sustainability in design and enjoy the challenge of working on socially beneficial projects. My path to become a product and furniture designer was not a typical one. With twelve years’ prior experience as a medical laboratory scientist and medical researcher, I bring a different perspective to design with a keen understanding of the science behind the materials and processes that I use.
