As a Product Designer
working internationally for over 10 years, I have built
up a strong roster of corporate clients. I usually work
with the client from the design stage, through development
to the end of production. Thanks to international connections,
I am often able to bring together clients with production
houses and enjoy helping to foster these productive partnerships.
Although my work is varied - from lighting, furniture,
glassware to mirrors and garden accessories - the consistent
thread throughout is my sensitivity to the demands made
by nature and the world we inhabit.
In addition to my clients,
I’m passionate about creating opportunities for
the intercultural exchange of knowledge and ideas. It
is with this is mind that I managed two substantial projects
in Kazakhstan and Ethiopia to promote intercultural learning
in product design and creation.
