I am a designer-maker trained at Hereford College of Arts, graduating with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Applied Arts with a background in mechanics. I produce intricate work which reflects my lifelong interest in architecture, science fiction design and industrial mechanics, the size of pieces varies, as do the designs, all of which are one-offs. These contemporary items are also inspired by the lavish Italian cycle components that I encountered while working in the cycle industry.

I would like to thank the ARTS COUNCIL OF WALES for supporting me with a research and development grant which has allowed me to purchase the equipment needed to establish me as an independent designer maker. I can't imagine being in this position without this assistance and encouragement.
