Currently, I work at Lumiguide, where I help take products from early concepts through to production. Alongside this, much of my portfolio comes from freelance work and personal projects, where I explore ideas and develop products independently.
My interest in this field started with a fascination for everyday objects, especially the ones where technical thinking and thoughtful design come together. Mechanical Engineering gave me the tools to move from appreciating those products to actually designing and building them.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time moving. Road cycling, running, swimming and fitness are a big part of my routine. The discipline behind that carries over into how I work. I also enjoy cooking and food, another place where creativity and precision meet.
