Founder. Designer. Maker.

About me.
Design, making and crafting has always been intrinsically important to me. In recent years, I’ve worked in the events industry to design and deliver construction projects for communities and organisations all across the globe and have previously designed products that promote and encourage working with wood for children and hobbyists.
In 2021, I co-founded HandsOn with my friend Sam. HandsOn is a company that gives people wholesome, fun and shared experiences that focus on building something tangible for local communities and people.
For many years I’ve also run a design practice that provides bespoke design, branding and marketing for clients and startups.
I am a graduate of Brunel University London with a First Class Honours degree in BSc Product Design with Professional Practice and was part of the Made in Brunel team, a student-led collaborative that connected Brunel design and the greater design industry via exhibitions and events.
I was also an exhibitor at New Designers 2017, an annual exhibition of design from the top hand-picked design graduates in the UK.
Outside of HandsOn and designing, I love spending time learning new skills and in the sea… attempting to surf.
