About Me
I'm Ollie, a 22-year-old artist/designer from Leicester, UK. Beyond design, I have a wide range of interests, including drawing, playing football, and beekeeping.
​
I am currently exploring the intersection between design, material innovation and sustainability, focusing more specifically on how we can find opportunity in waste.

Design Manifesto
Design is a tool for change.
It doesn't just make things - it shapes systems, behaviours, and values.
I believe in designing with purpose; every choice - material, method, message - carries weight.
Design should respond to context, respect its users, and challenge existing systems.​
I value process over perfection and curiosity over certainty.
Good design is inclusive, responsible, and regenerative.
It asks questions before offering answers.
It makes space for possibility.
I design to challenge - not just to produce.
