Can you imaginepeople from every country in the world participating in a simultaneous moment of peace? Can you imagine the impact?... We can... Please join us!

I decided to photograph myself texting a group of friends and family some words encouraging peace and asking them to take part in next years 'World Wide Moment'. This was my way of spreading peace. The idea is that next year they might tell another 10 people about the event and word will spread. Peace out!!!

Just came across some old photos of my Final Major Project at College in 2006. It was a project inspired by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Schizophrenia which aimed to raise awareness regarding mental health issues. The design addressed a common part of OCD whereby there is a need for both sides of the body to feel equal. It was made using laminated ply in a former which is supported by 8 Steel legs which were welded with a support beam! The good old days at Newcastle College!!!

My gingerbread men recently took a trip over to America for the 'designers against AIDS' charities most recent venture, 'NYC AGAINST HIV' fashion show. It was an event which aimed to raise awareness and included dancing, singing with the ultimate crescendo of a fashion show which featured my gingerbread accessories!!!

Earlier this month 'Toast' the trendy Sheffield Boutique launched its new website. As you can see, the table I designed earlier this year in collaboration with this shop features on the site.
