To what degree have you actually controlled the course your design life has taken?
My early career with Ducal and Silentnight Furniture brands provided me with invaluable experience. Managing large projects with internal and external designers and factories around the world . In turn this fast learning curve in the early years of designing has given me the knowledge and confidence to shape my own design career running my own design business.
What’s something you know you do differently than most people?
I always start by thinking about what the end user expects and desires from the furniture I create.
What product or event inspired you to be a designer?
Working at my families Interiors shop as a teenager.
If you could go back in time and become the designer of any existing item, what would you choose?
I have always loved the organic form of the ‘egg chair’ by Arne Jacobsen.
