Hello, I’m Charlotte Simmonds, an industrial designer with over 25 years of commercial experience, collaborating with top retail brands such as Marks & Spencer, Burgon & Ball, John Lewis, Laura Ashley, B&Q, Endon Lighting, Wedgwood and Jasper Conran. I create original concepts and develop innovative designs through to manufacture, with a strong track record in lighting and decorative home & garden products for the retail sector. I also have broad materials experience across ceramics, melamine, metal, glass, textiles and wood, and I excel at clear communication, customer liaison, and factory liaison across the UK and abroad. With extensive experience designing for both department stores and independent retailers—on mass-produced and batch-produced items—I bring robust trend analysis, concept origination, range building, and product development to every project. I’m comfortable leading teams, mentoring junior designers, and presenting design solutions to clients, suppliers, and stakeholders. My practice also spans textile design through my Flowers for Susie venture, combining mid-century aesthetics with contemporary craft.…Hello, I’m Charlotte Simmonds, an industrial designer with over 25 years of commercial experience, collaborating with top retail brands such as Marks & Spencer, Burgon & Ball, John Lewis, Laura Ashley, B&Q, Endon Lighting, Wedgwood and Jasper Conran.
