People often expect me to switch off from design outside work, but I don’t - it’s simply who I am.

I’m always chasing ideas, tweaking personal projects, or thinking about how everyday things could be better. For many this sounds like a permanent state of suffering - but not for me - I’m fascinated by how people solve problems and how the systems around us function.

I read everything from design to fantasy to philosophy, and it all feeds back into my work and life. I even keep a personal JIRA board where I track projects, goals, habits and day to day tasks. It might sound a bit mad, but paired with tools like ChatGPT, it helps me spot patterns and improve how I work and live. It also helps me prioritise all my creative projects and ideas.

When I need a break from screens, I make silver jewellery or spend time outside. I taught myself to metalwork, and it’s become my main creative outlet away from the computer.

I’m committed to staying physically and mentally healthy too, so I enjoy exploring different training styles and pushing myself in the gym. Cooking is a big part of this and I enjoy experimenting with different recipes and cooking with friends.

Living in Jersey means I’m never far from the sea, in the summer I spend as much time as I can paddleboarding, surfing, and kayaking. Some of my favourite evenings are spent fishing for mackerel with friends, then grilling our catch on the beach as the sun goes down - the perfect mix of good food, great company, and island life.
