About me

FAO prospective employer,
I am a PD/design senior with over 15 years experience at the helm of
a major OS home product design and manufacture organisation. Our
clients include most global blue chip retailers.
My early career in graphic design and brand (LSP and Camberwell
School of Art) got me hooked on quality and the idea of making a
powerful statement economically.
Then moving on to interior styling with Designers Guild and Laura
Ashley UK, I developed the core skills of concept and product design
visualisation, alonside retail packaging and POS solutions.
I am now a successful creative head and design manager in charge of
concept through to roll out and front end Branding of the company.
It is
a wonderful role that is innovative and creative, but I am looking
for a similar helm role in the areas of decorative accessories, fashion
accessories and furniture, closer to home UK/Europe.
I have, as you can see a wide range of product design experience and
management knowledge, able to bring the very best out of the ordinary
and my team. I discern and lead trend and present and ambassador
the organisation across wide range of audience levels types and
cultures.
Since 1996 I have continued my passion for teaching delivering
various business, communications skills and creative design courses in
Australia, UK, Italy and work actively in skills development in
China.
If you have something in mind then of course I would be delighted to
fwd more information and relevant portfolio additions.
