I met EDM through their own exhibitions arm but worked mostly with Mick Bonney on defence and aviation. This was an interesting departure and allowed me to work on some very different projects, including: The Joint Strike Fighter, BAE Remote Weapons Systems and Lufthansa Safety Program.

This was my introduction to the world of interactives, exhibitions and museums. I started back in the workshop, fabricating and modelling. I then moved into the electronics and software department and then into a project management role. This gave me a great grounding in all the mission critical areas of production. In 2005-06 I began to use my visualisation skills to spearhead a new design
department working closely with the sales and marketing team. This department is still going well and I continue to work on several projects with HB. The piece of design work of which I am most proud is the ‘Stella Trap’ we designed for Lowe Roch and Stella Artois.

This is where I started during college. Eventually, head of design, for a trendy Carnaby Street jewellers. An impressive, rock-n-roll client list allowed me to have my work patronised by the likes of David Beckham, Swarovsky, Ozzy Osborne, Coolio, Ronnie Woods and more. An enjoyable and experimental period in my design work which taught me plenty.
