About

Expert in:
High level CAD surface modelling.
Strong skill set in parametric modelling.
Complex mechanical mechanisms.
Additive manufacturing, both plastic and metal printing.
Design for manufacture.

Able to work closely to a design brief to produce fully functioning mechanical products, with a strong and attractive aesthetic. That satisfies the requirements of the client and customer.
My design always have in mind the best way to be manufactured for the most cost effective solution.

Have worked on my own internal projects for the past 10 years, turning concepts into fully functioning commercially successful products.
These include Loopwheels (▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ where I took the idea from a sketch through to production and commercial success.
I have successfully design strollers and car seats for Maxi Cosi (Holland), again taking them from a sketch through to pre-production prototype.
I have worked with Bic (Greece) to help refine the design of their shaver range, working on the aesthetics and translating that into the surface shape.
My early career was working for Psion handheld computers, where I headed up the design team where we worked hand held palm top computers and early smart phones.

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a masters in Industrial Design
