Damian attended the Masters Industrial Design course at the Royal College of Art in London and graduated in 1986 having previously studied Glass and Ceramics.
Damian’s design philosophy is to produce simple, effective and useful solutions. Design can be considered as an empathic process that attempts to understand a user’s needs, wants and aspirations, as well as looking for the opportunities that changing social environments, manufacturing technologies, material options and many other aspects offer.
From 1986 to 1990 he worked for Terence Conran at the Conran Design Group developing numerous product categories including lighting for Habitat and Concord, hand held computers for Psion and personal care electrical products for Clairol.
From 1990 to 1998 he worked as an independent Designer for some of the UK’s top design consultancies, before setting up his own studio in London. Since 2012 he has run his studio in the creative melting pot of Brighton.
