I am the owner of Surface, a multi-disciplinary design + culture collaborative.
I have a thirst for knowledge. A passion for people. A love of design and a endless desire to innovate. I believe our environment and experiences effect our well being.
The focus of my work has been on creating beautifully designed, well-made, purposeful products and brands that speak to the soul and offer a meaningful experience.
New brand paradigms that redefine, engage and have cultural relevance.
Affina, a eco-friendly, philosophy brand that celebrates the beauty of nature and our affinity to it.
Teelee, a spirited fashion and entertainment brand created with British designer, Tracy Lee Mcguinness.
