Learn from the past, acknowledge & explore the present, design for the future.
Maintaining a stressless and positive mentality I am able to thrive within complexity, whilst staying grounded and focused.
Working under pressure I can handle a project on my own initiative, whilst understanding the value and benefits of an effective team environment.
With a core dedication to the pursuit of knowledge and exploration, I love to push ideas from conception to realisation with seriousness of academia and playfulness of wonder; an endless creative feedback loop.
The Innovation Design Engineering course where I gained my MA/MSc is a creative hub of beautifully interesting and uniquely talented minds, from a variety of countries and backgrounds (from aerospace engineers to fashion designers). There is a certain type of mind-set in collaborative environments like IDE that enables transition between introvert to extrovert, flow-state to deep debate. I believe this is the recipe for true innovation; a multidisciplinary team working potentially far from their education with great focus and collective foresight to holistically investigate and output something truly original and meaningful. Innovating is a mind-set, a desire to explore, create and improve, turning imagination into reality for a better world.
