As a Product Designer working internationally for over 10 years, I have built up a strong roster of corporate clients. I usually work with the client from the design stage, through development to the end of production. Thanks to international connections, I am often able to bring together clients with production houses and enjoy helping to foster these productive partnerships. Although my work is varied - from lighting, furniture, glassware to mirrors and garden accessories - the consistent thread throughout is my sensitivity to the demands made by nature and the world we inhabit.
In addition to my clients, I’m passionate about creating opportunities for the intercultural exchange of knowledge and ideas. It is with this is mind that I managed two substantial projects in Kazakhstan and Ethiopia to promote intercultural learning in product design and creation.
