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. 

ReCast re imagines traditional casting by celebrating the raw, imperfect beauty of the sand-casting process. This collection - comprising a handle, knocker, doorstop, and hook - embraces the organic textures and quirks of sand-cast recycled aluminium by deliberately retaining sprues as a design feature. The result is a series of understated yet functional fittings that highlight the unique characteristics of the material while advocating for sustainable production.
