What is your approach to design?

Keep an eye on the bigger picture when buried in detail.

What are your three favourite designed products?

Race cars in general, where there focused approach leads to some great looking designs requiring form to follow function. So a Porsche '917 Le Mans' Car or Ford 'GT40'.

Lilium eVTOL aircraft, Lots of new developments in this field but impressed by the Lilium take with multi fan, DEVT (Ducted Electric Vector thrust).

Smart Phone, Although it’s a bit of love and hate, what would it be like without it now?

What interests you?

Water sports and travel, so often sailing. Having competed in part of the Clipper RTW yacht race, Southern Ocean crossing and the 2015 Sydney Hobart race.
