Design has been a constant in my life since I was 15, growing from an early interest into a genuine passion and lifelong career. I take pride in creating work that not only looks strong but communicates clearly and effectively, and I still enjoy the process of design as much today as I did when I started. Outside of design, I enjoy spending time with my two sons, who are a huge part of my life and motivation. I’m passionate about hill walking and travel, always looking to explore new places and experiences. I also have a love for cooking and have spent time alongside my design career developing my skills as a chef, including work in professional kitchens, which has given me a strong appreciation for creativity, discipline and working under pressure.
