About Me

I have spent the last two decades developing a research-based approach to building and maintaining Design Teams.

This approach has been explored across a range of digital-based and physical-based companies and projects - providing Industrial Design and Project Design Management services.

Recently, my research has focused on developing a hybrid approach to capturing ideations, using a combination of emerging digital and traditional methods. This has applied to both the creation of artistic objects and concept design for manufacturing projects.
