About me
Over the past nineteen years in design, my work has spanned a wide range of industry sectors, calling for a breadth of disciplines including: ethnographic research, user experience design, service design, visual design, motion graphics and environmental design.
My clients have included: Meta/Facebook, Instagram, Hitachi, Renault, Kenwood, Wynn Resorts, MetLife, Mars, McDonald’s, Land Rover, Glen Dimplex, EVRY, UKTV, NSPCC, BP, Ernst & Young, KLM Airlines, WWF, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Dunhill, Burberry, and Swarovski.
I write The Conditions, a weekly newsletter exploring changes in design, business and technology and implications these have for our future.
In my spare time I enjoy Painting & drawing, playing music and each year around Halloween I carve pumpkins.
