About

Originally from England, living and working in Japan since 2005. Apart from keeping a basecamp & family home in the mountains edging Kyoto, I practice a streamlined mobile office moving between projects, workshops, and the outdoors. Comfortable working remotely, in a studio, factory, or in the field.
