Audio Product Development & Electroacoustic Specialist

Welcome to my World of Great Audio Products

As a Product Development Specialist, I bring experience and innovation to the forefront of audio product development. Formerly the Head of Innovation and Development at Glen Dimplex for Roberts Radio and Morphy Richards brands, I now offer my expertise to a wider array of clients and projects.

I have a rich history of managing design concepts into successful, high-quality products alongside cross-functional international teams. My proficiency extends to collaborating with joint developer manufacturers, usually in Asia.

My portfolio showcases a range of products, from totally bespoke ‘concept to production’, to projects that leverage existing platforms for faster delivery and lower development costs.

My specialisation is consumer audio product development, encompassing electronic and acoustic design and optimisation, audio DSP, embedded software development, and robust team and project management. With a strong background in quality manufacturing, I bring a unique perspective and complete skill set to the table.

I am dedicated to innovation. I have pioneered and developed Airsound (the patented spatial audio technology), as well as introduced state-of-the-art amplifiers, used recycled materials, and introduced innovative user experience enhancements in many recent products. See my portfolio for details:
