_ABOUT

I am an innovator, driven to make a positive impact to society. As Co-founder and CTO, of an award winning cleantech startup, I developed our technology from moonshot to reality. Raising over £3 million and securing partnerships with automotive industry leaders Rivian and Volvo. I thrive when faced with a challenge. My roots in engineering and passion for design are constantly colliding, leading me to take an interdisciplinary approach to the complex and nuanced challenges we face.
