Some work has been displayed at: the Royal Automobile Club, Transport for London museum, Milan Designweek and in Dongdaemun Design Plaza in South-Korea during the Seoul Design Week.

I have received a full sponsorship from Siemens to support with the creation of a 1/4 scale model of my Final Major Project: LOOP. The research and final design received two awards: Pilkington automotive vehicle design award and The worshipful company of Carmen of London.
I have given workshops and talks at the University of Antwerp, University of Gent, Makerversity and V&A Museum. I worked on aviation interior designs at JPA Design, personal mobility and a variety of consumer products as a Freelancer. I'm also part of the design house Particle Studio, previously Design on Impulse at Somerset House. Currently I'm working as a strategic concept designer for Yamaha Motors in Tokyo.
Apart from my passion for design, I'm a cyclist, snowboard instructor, urban sketcher and movie buff.
