I've always seen design and manufacturing not as separate realms but as interconnected parts of a single process. My journey began at Arcteryx and within the innovation hub of Lululemon, where I honed my skills before branching out to redefine the processes for clients in the outdoor industry. My agency, Grey Area Studio, isn't just about creating designs; it's about revolutionising how we think about product creation. We integrate rapid iterative prototyping with cutting-edge digital design to deliver not just concepts but complete, market-ready solutions. From the initial spark of an idea to the final stages of patterning, prototyping, tech packs, material sourcing, and manufacturing management, we're not just involved — we're embedded in every step. This is what sets us apart: a design agency that operates like a high-performance engine in the fast-paced world of innovation. How can I help you build a toolkit to engineer better product?

I have nearly 20 years in the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineering) design and construction industry. I've done it all, from simple retail construction up to chemical labs, operating rooms, and custom industrial applications. Like the jingle says, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. I have designed and managed 100s of millions of dollars of construction. I have worked for consulting firms and contractors, managed engineering teams, and managed P&L for my teams. I have also mentored other engineers both early and mid career. One of the areas I am most consulted on professionally is building automation systems and their design. I have helped many facility owners make sense of their systems and helped them out of being locked into a single source. I am open to any technical or career questions that you might have.
