The maker

I've been working with digital design since the mid-90s, driven by a love of creating things people value and use.

In 2017, a colleague's leather and wool felt laptop case inspired me to make my own. My first attempt was sewn on my mother's 1960s sewing machine. It was far from perfect, but it proved I could create something I genuinely loved.

What followed were years of trial and error and plenty of late nights. Eventually, it led to my own workshop, filled with tools and machines that help me turn ideas into things made to be used and enjoyed for years.
