What does the DBA do? https://www.dba.org.uk/
I’d like help with…
....better understanding the challenges that face all those in, or coming into the design industry - it's what'll make the DBA the best it can be for the designers we're here to serve.
An interesting, or unusual fact(s) about me…
I trained as an industrial designer but never worked as one, instead chosing to talk about design! And I've been doing that for years, and I love it.
I also have a bit of a thing for cranes. Oh, and growing my own veg. Oh, and cooking.
I live in
GB
A career highlight
Just one?....it would have to be the people, hands down! I love the people that work in design. You're inspiring, talented people that will change the world - and it's my privilege to work with you all, every day.
