The global impact of tyre wear is so far reaching - it is a problem that cannot be solved in silo. At its core, The Tyre Collective is an interdisciplinary team of researchers, designers and engineers. I excel in a team, my strength lies in quickly digesting complex concepts and communicating them simply to the group.

I have refined my communication through regular exposure to investor pitches and panel discussions with industry over the last 5 years. To date we have successfully raised over £3 million from private equity, crowd funding, grants and competition wins. I am media trained, giving interviews for various news channels, articles and even a David Attenborough documentary for the BBC Earthshot Awards.
