Hello!

My name is Zak, I’m 26, and I have just completed BA Furniture and Product Design at Nottingham Trent University.

I have studied in several different fields of art and design from architecture, fine art and furniture design. I believe this makes me a well-rounded designer. I am very passionate about design, furniture in particular.

Feel free to look through my work and please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Why?

Inspiration is an important part of a designers journey. I am inspired by the world around me, particularly in nature but also extremely engineered objects.

Biomimicry is an idea that deeply fascinates me and has inspired some iconic designs such as the Japanese bullet train, taking inspiration from a kingfisher bill.

Importantly now designers face a very important problem; climate change and minimising our impact. I have spend the last few years increasingly focussed on this… increasing the lifecycle of a product, using natural or biodegradable materials and minimising carbon emissions for example.
