About
I am passionate about design. I believe in honest design, because honest design gives birth to simplicity and purity. As such, I love responding to a brief through creative and rational thinking to deliver exciting yet realistic outcomes. I apply my knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes, and pair it with my ability to develop an idea through drawing and 3-D modelling - by hand or CAD - to deliver on time and to an excellent standard.
