About Me

I have recently completed my second intern in central London and i am currently seeking a rewarding job within the creative industry. I will also be continuing to work with Brunel University on the development of the Sting project for the foreseeable future.

Within design i have a key interest in humanitarian based projects that focus on design to improve life, I also enjoy the challenge of highly complex mechanical designs. I have a keen interest in the world around me particularly exploring cultures both old and new. A combination of photography, fresh air and travel continue to take up a large proportion of my time outside design. Feel free to explore my photography on Flickr here.
