Industrial Design
After 17 years of experience as an Industrial Designer, I have gained expert knowledge in the design and manufacture of sheet metal products, specialising in bespoke commercial furniture design from concept through to production.
I have the ability to listen to my client’s needs and design products that meet the criteria of the design brief while finding the best suited manufacturing processes that facilitate the production of the product while keeping the design within budget.
