About

Not only should a product look good, it should also function beautifully!!!

Peoples emotional response to products is what really tickles my fancy. I want people to pick up my designs and intuitively know how to use them, to trust them and feel the true value of them.

Having designed a wide range of products, from kitchenware to medical equipment, I have taken products from concept stage to manufacturing and I am experienced in all aspects of the business.

Currently I am working on developing new laparoscopic medical devices.
