Summary
I am an industrial designer and applied academic with more than 25 years of experiences working across diverse market sectors, applying a user centred and co-design methodology approach to create innovative design solutions. Working in areas such as a e-health, digital heritage and wearable medical products, clients include: English Heritage, Kenwood, adidas, Trulife and Unilever. These collaborations have produced over multiple patents and numerous products to market.
About
I am a Senior Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Fellow and Senior Industrial Designer at Design Futures. Design Futures is an industrial design consultancy that integrates creative and technical disciplines to produce highly innovative products and packaging solutions, enabling companies to invigorate their products and packaging, achieve competitive advantage in new or existing markets. As a senior member of the design team I lead, manage and participate in every part of the design and planning process.
Whilst at Design Futures I have led and participated in numerous projects, working in collaboration with and independently for Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SME’s) as well as national and international companies. My work is varied and has directly impacted on client’s success, for example in meeting R&D milestones, making technical recommendations, producing intellectual property and taking products to market.
I have experience of applying technical and creative design methods and developing interventions with a focus on digital tangible interactions.
I am a Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Associate within the Lab4Living. Lab4Living has the objective of facilitating user driven innovation in health-care through co-creation.
I am Co-founder of the Digital Materiality Lab (DML), at the DML explore the many ways in which the digital and the material worlds collide, fuse, converge or clash and how people perceive and interact with new hybrid materials that sense the environment, objects that display autonomous behaviours, and spaces that react to people.
I am responsibility for PhD supervision in areas such as co-design, tangible interaction, healthcare, robotic acceptance and heritage. I also act as a reviewer for several premier ACM conferences, including CHI, TEI.

Adapting, repairing, and creating scientific equipment in Greenland using 3D printing
2024-2025
The Arctic Office NERC
Principle investigator
The proposal aims to revolutionize scientific workflows in Greenland by integrating 3D printing and design. In this region, where ecological studies are vital yet challenged by equipment malfunctions due to harsh conditions and logistical complexities, 3D printing could offer a transformative solution if combined with context informed design and provides a game changing opportunity in exploiting the technology by shaping aesthetics, achieving functionality, optimising geometries and ensuring structural integrity of 3D printed objects.
Future Home Air Quality https://lab4living.org.uk/projects/future-home-air-quality/
2023 - 2025
Theme leader in E3
The Future Home Air Quality project explores the relationship between domestic activities/behaviours that affect our indoor air quality (IAQ), and how design can provide interventional systems to assist with improving our IAQ.
Virtual Reality Prosthetics
Training System
Co-investigator
2017 – 2023
A two and a half year (delayed due to covid) NHS I4I funded project to develop and build a VR
system that improves the current state of NHS training for patients using a myo electric
prosthetic arm. This project has created 2 international patent applications.
meSch
Lead Industrial Designer
2013 - 2018
meSch is a 4-year EU funded project with the goal of co-designing novel platforms for the creation of tangible exhibits at heritage sites: curators will be able to offer visitors new interactive experiences by means of material interaction with smart objects.
