Industrial Designer by trade. Rugby player at heart.

Somewhere between the two, @shard_studios was born.

2 ACL reconstructions and an Achilles rupture later…

Enjoying rugby and building a career alongside professional sport.

It started with a simple problem on the sideline.

What if one tool could do the job of eight?

That question became VITOOL.

As we look to what’s next, we remain focused on identifying problems and innovating with purpose.

SHARD // YEAR 3 // BUILT TO SOLVE. by @shard_studios

This week I started an MPhil in Industrial Systems, Manufacture and Management at the University of Cambridge.

Over the past few years, @shard_studios and my work in design have given me an incredible introduction to the product and manufacturing world. I’m looking forward to building on those experiences at Cambridge and deepening my understanding of manufacturing, innovation and systems thinking.

I’ll be taking a bit of a step back from Shard and client work over the coming year, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and the work along the way. by @shard_studios
