Tom Nappey

My background is set in the field of industrial design where I’ve gained experience working with major companies including Unilever, Philips, Mars, Bowers & Wilkins and Unilever to name but a few. My role as a designer is mainly centred around the ideation, design and fabrication of micro electronics hardware with expertise in 3D modelling software and render packages to produce industry standard mass manufacturable designs. Previous pieces of work have involved the collaborations of multi-disciplinary teams where my skills have also been applied to developing the UI/UX of user based platforms and services.
