When designing I focus on creating meaningful product experiences that connect a brand to its users. I have an interest in multiple areas of design including Fashion, Product, Industrial, Innovation, Interior and Furniture Design. INNOVATION

At the moment the focus on the accessibility of aircraft or aircraft seats for people with reduced mobility is growing. I began researching the problem and came up with a seat that would take a passenger from the check-in desk at the airport, to their destination. Making it easier for them to access the aircraft and the bathroom on board, and also reducing the number of seat transfer they must do. I have been continually developing this product since it won the European Product Design Awards in 2019. The project involved interviews with potential users, aircraft technicians, air-hostess, and carers. From this, I created the ‘Row 1’ Airport Wheelchair System.
