Hello! I’m Olly.
Before I get onto the ‘professional bit’, I’d like to share with you a few things about me…
I am a rock climber. I love the outdoors, mountain hikes and wild open places. I am a father (as of 2020!). I am someone for whom whatever I am doing it needs to be creative - or creating something new. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work with my hands, especially in wood (although now I do so vicariously through the incredible skills of other craftsmen!). I am passionate about good design and finding the best in what a project can be and its full potential. I am probably a geek, especially for anything CAD!...
So with that, drifting as I am into the ‘professional’ part…
I have more than 10 years of professional experience in high end furniture design, design resolution, 2D and 3D drafting and project management of both large and small scale jobs.
I feel extremely fortunate to have been involved on some amazing projects over the years and the breadth of materials, processes, craftsmen and designs that these have brought.
I could not have imagined when I graduated from Bucks (University) in 2007 with a 1st Class Hons in Furniture Design and Craftsmanship that eventually I would work on furniture that would be distributed around the world, numerous one-off installations gaining media attention, incredible sculptural reception desks dotted about London and innumerable other high end joinery and furniture jobs for both private and commercial clients.
I hope this online portfolio will give an idea of who I am and what I do. Although I would say this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Thank you very much for taking a look and I look forward to hearing from you.
Oliver
