I’m inspired by growing up beside the automotive heart of the West Midlands, where being so close to Gaydon sparked my fascination with how design can blend emotion, craftsmanship, and purpose. That environment shaped the way I see products, and it’s why I’m drawn to creating work that feels personal, meaningful, and rooted in real context.
I’m most interested in automotive interiors, CMF, and product design that balances storytelling with technical understanding. I enjoy design that carries sentiment and originality, supported by research and a clear sense of how people interact with objects.
My influences come from material‑led design, contemporary automotive sculpture, and styles that value clarity, atmosphere, and emotional resonance. I’m drawn to movements and designers who prioritise form, proportion, and the relationship between user and object.
With experience at Nissan, Aston Martin, and Verne, I’m aiming to build a career in the automotive industry, focusing on interior, CMF, or product roles within mobility where I can combine technical insight with a strong sense of narrative and user experience.

AMIRO

AMIRO is the compact camera that reconnects drivers with the soul of their car. It turns everyday photography into a personal ritual, capturing not just moments but the identity, freedom, and memories your car represents.
Every interaction is infused with automotive emotion, the reassuring click of a control, the instinctive readiness, the feeling that it belongs in the cabin as much as you do. AMIRO’s tactile controls, real time contrast dial, and adaptive composition make every shot expressive, personal, and unmistakably yours.
Its modular edges evolve with your style, while the heirloom module carries the story of every car you’ve owned, a living archive of your journey. Inside the cabin, AMIRO becomes the car’s quiet soul, a companion to late night drives, first jobs, friendships, and the freedom that defines who you are.
