About
Design for me is about everyday objects from coffee machines to sunglasses, dining tables to motorbikes. Designing products that people fall in love with and quickly start to wonder how they lived without them before.
Products must excel in their primary role but the best products should also be able to surprise & delight the user. The product should respond to genuine needs, as design should not follow trend but strive to deliver products that are a balance of function, cost & aesthetic. -
