HOW I APPROACH DESIGN  I am sensual, emotive and tactile, so I like to marry form with function with material. I aim to make a balance, it must be practical, do its job, I try to create simple pure yet sophisticated products. Finding the most appropriate materials and ways of forming those materials is also very important so I research to resolve optimum solutions. I draw and doodle a lot, I make a mock up or two, I make a mess, I clean up the mess, then, I fine tune the product using a computer for accuracy for whatever tooling requirements are necessary.
