"I want to give back to the industry I’ve taken so much from."

BA (Hons) Product Design graduate Ollie works as a Design Manager at leading homeware brand Joseph Joseph, creating innovative solutions that enhance everyday living. After winning the Joseph Joseph Brilliantly Useful Design Award at the New Designers event, an accolade given to a student whose work best reflects the company’s core principles of innovation and functionality, he secured a route into the industry with a brand that aligned perfectly with his design values. His hands-on experience at Sheffield Hallam helped shape that approach further, giving him the confidence to rapidly explore ideas and understand how products are made.
