About
My sense of adventure and love of challenges have always been my driving forces as a person and Designer. Being adventurous, I explore all creative possibilities during problem solving. No matter how challenging, I always ensure the solution to a problem or design brief is realistic and achievable.
As a self driven multi-tasker, working as a freelancer suits me. I help clients in many areas, from concept generation, photo realistic renderings, detail 3D design production and evaluation of rapid prototypes, production of engineering drawings for injection, blow moulded, machined & fabricated parts amongst many other activities.

At University, I designed VisAble©, an electric kettle ergonomically and technically suited to the needs of Visually Impaired or Blind Users. During development, I had insight into many different areas of product design, such as working with focus groups, conceptualisation, detail design, and prototyping. I believe I created an extremely marketable product for an overlooked market. “VisAble©” was shortlisted in the James Dyson design award.
