Graduated from Royal College of Art Classically trained product designer with an interest in exploring the relationship between form, materials and tradition. Achieving the most using the simplest of processes and materials. 

Changing just enough of the form to fulfil its ‘new’ intended function. Clearly seeing what’s been changed and linking to its past material form. It is as much about the process as it is about the outcome. Seeking balance between that which nature makes and that which man makes. Contributing to the ‘Chinese-Elegance’ aesthetic.

Soil is earth’s most abundant natural resource and has a significant impact on all aspects of life in China, not just agriculture. Food culture is intrinsically linked to soil and is central to Chinese culture. The classic lines of Chinese food bowls make practical use of the natural qualities of soil. A poetic reminder that what we eat is linked to the soil beneath our feet.
