About

I’m a process-led designer with a strong focus on materials and making, I take a hands-on approach, embedding circular principles throughout the design process. My work prioritises sustainability - using recycled materials, reducing waste, and keeping production low-impact, while maintaining a clean, minimal aesthetic. I design refined, functional pieces that enhance the spaces they occupy, aiming to create furniture and products that are as enduring as they are environmentallyresponsible. 

Hem is a lightweight bench and stool system made from 1.2mm mild steel. Each piece is flat-packable and constructed from five sub-assemblies joined using pop rivets, bolts and spot welds. The result is a design that balances durability with disassembly ease - ideal for adaptable public spaces.
