My designs are orientated towards connecting people and bringing them together. Due to the interactive nature of the objects I produce, the user becomes immersed in their experience.

I strive to offer the element of fun as the primary role within my products. In order to deliver emotions of joy through my work, I have adopted a very expressive style combined with beneficial functions.

I have strong design ideas, technical problem solving skills and my products are all completed to very high standards. My environment, the people I meet and my imagination is what inspires me.

I have always enjoyed working in varied situations and confronting new challenges. I love to be socially connected and enjoy discussing and working within a team. I am excited for future adventurous experiences that will build on my diversity of knowledge.
