Work
Work for me combines my love of mathematics and design, with visualisation. Working methodically, experimenting, and seeing/discovering what's possible.Today, amongst other technical and varied projects, I work as an Engine Turner. I am pleased to share that this work will continue with the dashboards for the Bentley Motors Blower Jnr; the first all-electric Bentley, inspired by the vintage Bentley Team Car UU 5872.Working with my father, David, the dashboards will contain a curved sequenced pattern, sharing a language of the original, historic instrument fascia.To be part of the design and manufacture of a more sustainable Bentley has been a long-held aspiration.
Creativity
Creativity to me is the epicentre of transformative action.I hope I can inspire in readers a similar stir or infinity with creativity.It is my belief that creativity, interdisciplinary and wide ranging in translative connections, fostering new ideas, and remembering old ones, is a key to expression, delivering on ambitious goals, and a method for original, pivotal thought.
Mathematics
Mathematics is an embodiment of careful thinking, bringing an optimisation of clarity. There can be no doubt about the significance of mathematics, mathematics brings understanding and defines fundamental combinations and operations of objects.I believe it brings people together and helps solve key scientific, economic and societal challenges. There can be an abstraction, intrinsic to life, within its study. And also an enjoyment of pertinent, incisive questioning.I’d like to learn from the life of Maryam Mirzakhani, doing mathematics by immersion, and then assessing the challenges. I want to learn how to ask questions of rigorous ideas, delving into the scientific method.I think there is value in clarity by making use of language, a significant importance to name objects. Further, I believe in the usefulness of chance encounters, to surface ideas. I look forward to meeting those who seize their chances when it comes to collaboration.Emmy Noether clarifies and reassigns that mathematics can solve problems by examining at the fundamental level. This makes a career with mathematics seem so fulfilling, to thrive in the rolling challenges that will occur, in the puzzle and the work involved in such an experience.

Interests
I am deeply passionate about supporting highly effective charitable organisations that make a tangible impact. My interests lie in promoting global equity, reducing income disparities, and working towards a more just society. I am interested in understanding the long-term trajectory of humanity and particularly exploring potential risks; while actively finding opportunities that could shape the future and present day.Giving MultiplierEquality TrustGiveWellFuture of Humanity Institute
