His work at the Centre primarily focuses on bringing practical experience to sustainability projects. He aims to engage industry, manufacturers and wider community sectors through research and activities incorporating efficiency, embedded environmental product principles and effective sustainable design methodology. He also continues to mentor young designers at Swinburne University, and actively facilitates eco-design seminars run through Design Victoria. He has worked as a Product Design Engineer both in Australia and Europe for almost a decade. His work has crossed a large range of industries, including design consultancies, leading commercial interior furniture manufacturers, and multinational appliance companies such as Dyson. The products he has designed have been both ‘small run’ and ‘mass produced’, as his roles have covered all stages of the design process. He has worked with a plethora of materials and processes, in both design and manufacturing environments, and he continues in a design role as Director of Froth Design.
