I have an addiction to smart, hard-working people and brilliant ideas, and enjoy working with and monitoring new founders and teams to help them avoid mistakes I have made in the past.

FAQ

Work with me

I am always open to new opportunities, big, small, challenging, interesting, or impossible. I usually like to remain freelance, but I can be very flexible on hours depending on the project's needs and my current availability. Please feel free to get in touch.

Mentoring

I try not to mentor more than three people at once as I struggle to find the time, but I am always intrested to hear new and intresting ideas. Shoot me a message, and let's see where it goes!

Education

From the age of 12, I have been attending classes and courses in everything from robotics to game design and business management. I graduated from Brunel University with First Class Honours in Industrial Design and Technology.
