About
I am an industrial designer and work across both academic research projects and commercial development as part of consultancy Design Futures. I have worked on a wide variety of new product development projects taking products from concept design through to production in FMCG, medical, consumer and industrial sectors for a diverse range of clients, from local SMEs through to major multinationals, such as Adidas, Arla and Unilever.
I have an area of expertise in 3D scanning and printing for bespoke healthcare devices and have worked closely with the paediatric respiratory team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital on several collaborative projects in this area. We have successfully developed a prototype 3D printed non-invasive ventilation mask which is currently being trialled by patients (2024-25).
I am also interested in researching multisensorial experiences of 3D scan data, exploring the link between digital data and physical object.
Additionally, I have created graphical user interfaces and infographics for research projects and commercial clients. These projects have included devising instructional and educational graphics that aim to clearly convey complex information and promote positive behavioural change.
I am a research associate of Lab4Living.
