Spice, Slice and Stripes


This set of kitchen furniture was designed by Fiona Campbell Furniture for, and with a local customer. They wanted a versatile kitchen island that would allow different types of storage and act as a kitchen table for eating suppers. It was to become the hub of the kitchen. The walnut strips flow through the stools, handles and top giving continuity. It is set on four castors so that it can be wheeled in and out of the kitchen. This piece was a joy to make.

Island - Key Features :

Solid oak, solid walnut and oak veneered boards.
Spice racks
Two large drawers
Flap down bread drawer
Removable shelving
Matching stools that slot into the unit
Two hidden cupboards
Flap up surface for eating.
Shadow gap on top and stools

This island has over 100 joints and required four people to lift it.

Matching Stools

These stools were designed to match the oak and walnut kitchen island. The pair slide easily into each end of the unit.

Key features :

Solid oak
Solid walnut stripes
Shadow gap
Foot rest
Slanted back rest

3 R's


In this day and age, recycling hardwood timber is really important. My latest project involves turning old Ikea solid oak worktops into shelving for a family based in North Berwick. They recently had a new kitchen installed and instead of chucking out their old worktop, they have opted to turn it into seven floating shelves and a bathroom worktop.

This kind of job is fantastic as the wood has seasoned for years in their home so will be very unlikely to move.

I have not wasted a scrap of the wood, turning the remainder small pieces into door stops, cutting boards and small shelves.

Solid Oak Cross


I spent the afternoon installing this solid oak cross headstone in the local cemetery. The family of the deceased wanted a sculptural hard wood headstone that was to be inspired by two stones they had found.

I hand sculpted the oak to recreate the smooth finish of the rocks that had been worn smooth over time. We had brass plaques made up at the local engravers. The cross is finished with Osmo Oil, a green outdoor oil finish.

Butchers Block Kitchen Island


This oak and beech Kitchen Island was produced for London based customers. They wanted a large butchers block top that could be used daily for preparing food.

The unit will mainly be positioned in the centre of their large kitchen but they wanted to be able to wheel it away and to store it in the corner of the kitchen so we went for knobs on one side and no handles on the other side.

The top is oiled with food safe, high grade mineral oil.

Key features:

- Solid beech butchers block top - 5cm deep solid book marked end grain top
- Shadow gap
- Handle and two wheels
- Large push pull drawer

Stapler project - done


I have graduated the Master of Design course and have finished the Stapler Project after a year of research, design and development.

The project involved redesigning and rebranding a surgical stapler for a Chinese medical engineering company alongside the Intitute of Medical Science and Technology (IMSaT).

Design outputs included a range of rendered 3D CAD models and fully resolved rapid prototypes. I worked with key stakeholders to produce a research driven and user-focused innovative product that is currently being considered for mass production.
