Personal Statement
After completing his MSc in Industrial Design, Richard has worked internationally and designed everything from transportation to high technological medical products for the National Health Service. His passion and focus is on human centred design approaches to help companies be more people facing.

Among Richards, accolades he was one of a team of five who visited Cape Town as part of the internationally acclaimed “The International Entrepreneur” conference and the key note presentation at the Dalian Design Festival in China.
