Growing up in the semi-rural / suburban crossover around Macclesfield in the Northwest of England, my love affair with public space and landscape began in the parks and countryside of the Peak District. A creative imagination coupled with a fascination for making things and the way in which people interact with products and places eventually led to studying Product Design, before gaining a Masters in Industrial Design in 2006. Here I honed my flair for “idea-making” and creative problem solving, along with developing a talent for comprehensive and exhaustive creative research, while my passion for the design of great public space grew.

Working in a wide variety of jobs in manufacturing and service industries as well as product design, while also travelling the world, gave me a strong appreciation for the “ground up” collaborative approach to making projects succeed. Having provided CAD and design-rendering services to industry throughout the UK for the last 3 years I have recently embarked on a new phase in my career to provide design and research consultation, offering my extensive knowledge of public space design, creative research techniques and people-place interactions to urban developers and those managing regeneration projects.
