I'm currently researching novel methods of product idea generation for a PhD in Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University. Please see my research pages for more information.
Prior to becoming involved in design research, I worked for several years in the Internet industry and still undertake occasional web consultancy work. Please see my web portfolio for details of the services I offer.
Photography is another creative outlet and I now sell images for publishing. Please see my photography portfolio for more information.

My Research Discussed in International Journal of Design
I’m fortunate to start the year by having my work written about in a paper in the International Journal of Design. The paper, Unstated Contributions – How Artistic Inquiry Can Inform Interdisciplinary Research, is written by my colleague and PhD supervisor Professor Chris Rust and can be found online here
Glasgow Photograph in travel guide
One of my photographs of the impressive marble staircase in Glasgow’s City Chambers has been included in the latest Schmap Glasgow Guide. The company that produces these guides uses Flickr to source its photographs and Yahoo and Google to produce its maps. A nice bit of web cross-fertilisation.
New France and Italy photograph galleries
I’ve finally found the time to upload my photographs from our trip to France and Italy last summer onto my Flickr pages. We spent two weeks travelling from Paris to Romans in the South of France, then by train to Bologna, Florence and finally Pisa. All this on the back of a conference my partner was attending - academia has it’s benefits!
