Personal

The key to being a great designer is balance.

Outside of work I spend time watching different types of sports. I am a lifelong Rugby League supporter and new to Formula 1 (Drive to Survive is partly to blame). I tried my hand at golf but decided it was just getting in the way of a nice walk.

I have always loved hiking and have started to make more regular trips up to the Lake District to check off the Wainwright peaks. My biggest achievement is climbing Ben Nevis.

I enjoy playing video games (Switch, PS4 & PC), reading books and binge watching TV in phases.

Board games can get competitive and puzzles are there to be solved. Current favourite are Surugu puzzles but I can always fall back on a good Sudoku.
