I am a little obsessed by the made environment, as a child I pulled books apart to see how they worked. I earned an MA from Manchester Metropolitan University, where I learned not simply ?how' we design but ?why' we design. A common theme can be found in all of my work ? one that is always evaluating process, takes a rational approach to form, and results in an appropriate solution given an object's context.
