Include 2015: Disruptive Inclusive
Royal College of Art, London, 2015
Driven by an exploratory mindset I solve problems with empathy, curiosity and a sense of adventure, seeing every problem as an opportunity to challenge assumptions and create change.












I am passionate about the early stages of the design process: understanding a complex problem, designing and running user focused research, deriving insights and turning these into ideas while understanding the strategic opportunities, and leading the creation of proof of concept prototypes.
















If I am not solving problems you can find me parkouring through the city, exploring on my motorbike or enthusiastically working on a new side project.











Dream briefs:
1.
Working at the intersection of movement and mental health
2.Product testing and refining adventure gear
3.Redesigning the entire airport user experience
