The idea
Design for change.
A satellite panel folds flat, then deploys in orbit. A garment can do the same on a growing child.
The principle is identical - structure that adapts to its conditions instead of fighting them. My career has been about turning that principle, drawn from deployable aerospace structures and the geometry of the fold, into products people genuinely live with.
I care about responsible manufacture and materials technology, without asking anyone to compromise on performance. Lead with the idea, prove it with the work, and never oversell. Three beliefs sit underneath everything I make.
- Materials first The hardest problems in design are solved in the material, not the marketing. Get the structure right and the story tells itself.
- Extreme users Design for the most demanding wearer - a child, an athlete, an astronaut - and everyone else is covered.
- Time as a dimension A product should earn its place across years, not a single season. Growth, repair and recyclability are design inputs, not afterthoughts.
"Engineering intelligently applied to the textile and fashion industry to create a unique and compelling invention that addresses a global problem."
