Biography
I have been self-employed as a designer-maker since 1994. Prior to this I worked for twelve and a half years (the latter half of this time as principal assistant) for Dick Reid in York. The move into self-employment came with the desire to design and make contemporary work with the understanding gained of working with traditional material.
