I'm an anorack for design, God is in the detail!
Member Since
January 2025
I’ve been involved in sign design and manufacturing for over 25 years, working in Europe, the Middle East and North America. I’ve given my time to a number of non-profits over the years and I like to contribute where I can. We’ve worked with some of the biggest and best design and architectural firms and most of the global tech companies and enjoyed every minute of it! I’m an anorak for design and my children often groan when I start running my fingers over a new material that I might see when we’re in the shopping mall! I love modern and post modern design and you’ll usually find me gazing at buildings and signs when on holidays!
Ask me about
How can we educate clients into paying for great design?
My super power is
The ability to make materials work with one another and to see solutions to complex design problems.
I'm looking for
Conversation and sharing of ideas with other designers – and a good laugh at the same time!
What I love about experience design
I love how so many materials and disciplines are employed in the making of signs, you have to be an architect, brand manager, graphic designer, lighting consultant, engineer, painter – shall I go on????
Best piece of advice I've ever heard
Less is better!
Where I find Inspiration
I find inspiration in Art Deco and Modernist design, I love how confident and bold the designers were with their ideas at this time, they had no reference point to draw on and they just struck out where no one had gone before!
