"Firstly, my primary tools: art brushes, metallic powders and epoxy resin. These are the most essential foundation products in the journey of my designs. I also can’t do much without my creativity and imagination.
"In addition to this, the substrates including aluminium composite, acrylic perspex, fibreboards, Welsh slates and clay tiles.
"Of course my hardware is vital, consisting of a scanner, an iPhone and 27” iMac computer that captures and allows me to see the creative results of my artwork."
"My art brushes because these are the main tool behind my finished products and allow me to unleash my inspirations. With the combination of the epoxy resin and colour pigment, there are endless possibilities in creating my finishes."
"Hollister clothing store in Elbe shopping centre, Hamburg. It was a challenge with so many specialist paint finishes, including the application of a multitude of wall coverings I had to apply. In addition to completing such a sophisticated project on schedule, the project has influenced me to produce my new collections of wall coverings for the residential and commercial industry."
"The OBLIX located on the 32nd floor of The Shard Building."
