Services

  • Helping clients create commercial, sustainable and adaptable products. We collaborate together to bring your ideas into reality, using a clear design process.

  • I take care of the design, development and sourcing of your unique idea. A one-off or small batch production of your fully bespoke design.

  • A research consultant, for all things distributed design and digital fabrication. If you need passion about discovery and analysis in the AKD fields of expertise then reach out for a chat.

AKD designs and produces contemporary homeware, lighting and furniture as well as offering design services including design consultancy, bespoke design and research.

I specialise in developing end-use parts and products made using digital fabrication, to unlock benefits like distributed production and mass customisation.

Eco-design products that support repairability, circularity and mass customisation are core to the AKD philosophy.

Our planet needs an alternative approach to how we make our material world. That is why this studio is committed to exploring sustainable models for the conception, production and consumption of design that solve your design challenges with fresh thinking and balance with nature.

By working with people, for people and locally to people, we can make the things everybody needs more sustainably and inclusively. We can do this by working distributively, harnessing the power of technologies like 3D printing and empowering communities to engage in the process of making and repairing their products.
