Ross Downie 

I’m drawn to design that feels useful, considered, and a bit off-centre. My interest in vintage clothing, surfing, and hiking has shaped how I think about materials, longevity, and practical details. These interests have exposed me to clothing and products built with a clear purpose, where performance comes through distinct solutions. I like design with a clear reason behind it, but still enough room for character.

Jake England 

I am a product-centric designer with a special interest in audio equipment and tactile, interactive objects. I am drawn to designs that encourage experimentation and personalisation, often with a retro-inspired influence and a mechanical focus. I aim to design products that prioritise functionality, ergonomics, and user satisfaction, taking a considered, detail-oriented approach when developing and refining ideas during my design process.

Valentina Kromholc 

As a designer, I believe in the importance of slow craft and the preservation of traditional skills. My practice is rooted in nature and earthy materials, with a focus on woodworking and organic forms. Alongside furniture design, I practise a range of slow crafts, including acrylic painting, sketching, and fibre-based work such as crochet, embroidery, and sewing.  

I aim to create work that reconnects material honesty with personal authenticity and highlights the overlooked traditional making processes. 

Project: “Krummholz,” a crafted coffee table inspired by modernism with an art nouveau twist.

I’m a designer with a strong attention to detail, focused on translating client needs into thoughtful, refined outcomes. I enjoy problem-solving, building strong working relationships, and gaining a deep understanding of each brief. I find the iterative process particularly rewarding, using continuous development and refinement to elevate both function and experience in my designs.

Bella Watkins

A detail-driven Product and Furniture Designer with a hands-on, inquisitive approach to making, my work is grounded in material exploration and practical prototyping. I enjoy developing ideas from early sketches into refined, functional outcomes that balance purpose with personality. Inspired by time spent outdoors in nature, alongside my practice, I volunteer in Scouting at both local and national levels. I am keen to apply my creative mindset to meaningful, real-world design challenges.  

Project: “Sit back and relax.” The Alma Collection embodies a balanced blend of craftsmanship and culture for contemporary outdoor living.

Ffion Williams

I’m a designer fuelled by curiosity and a relentless drive to create. Rooted in hands-on craft and bold thinking, I’m constantly exploring new techniques and pushing my skills further. I obsess over the finer details—the subtle touches that transform good design into something exceptional. Furniture making is where my ideas come alive, turning vision into striking, tangible pieces. I’m driven by precision, process, and the thrill of creating work that leaves a lasting impression. 

Project: “Store with elegance.” The Aurelia Sideboard storage solution that steals the sunshine.
