I cover a variety of design subjects based on my academic knowledge, practical skills and industry experience. For eight years I taught a variety of short courses in product design and sustainability at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Aimed at young adults new to the subject as well as professionals wanting to learn new skills, these courses were taught both online and at the Kings Cross campus in London.
