  • I have been working at SAS since November 2011.


    Prior to working at SAS I worked for Thomas Manss at Thomas Manss & Company for just over 3 years. In this time I principally looked after the hi-fi speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins, renowned architecture practice Foster + Partners and shelving system company Vitsœ. This experience followed working as an assistant for Gilmar Wendt at SAS and at the design practice Perfect Day, culminating to date in over 5 years experience.


    I recently returned to education following completing an MA at Central Saint Martins in 2007 by giving two talks at Lincoln University. The first was to architecture students at the School of Architecture and the second was to the Interactive Design course at the School of Art & Design with the latter also including a workshop.


    In the design studio I feel very comfortable at all stages of a project whether it be conceptualisation stage, corresponding with clients, directing a photoshoot or the delivery of artwork. I am competent with all the programs in the Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, CSS and HTML. I take great pride in being able to project manage myself - and others when required - to any deadline. I am happy to work as part of a team or on my own if a project dictates.
