Faculty ai
New AI UX and UI
Digital design for a AI-first applications
We helped Faculty AI, one of the UK’s most prominent AI companies. Together, we explored how new interaction patterns and design experiences can be developed for AI-first applications. This is a time of rethinking how we interact with intelligent systems that simulate, predict, and adapt to human needs.
BuffaloGrid - MeetEdd
Hardware and apps
Design for manufacture. Human Centred design approach.
We help Meet EDD, to design and manufacture their Edge Digital Device.The most cost-effective method for distributing digital content.

Convoya
Ai Dashboards
Putiing humans fisrt on Ai-first applications
We crafted a unified digital experience for Covoya, one of the world’s largest coffee traders. Through clean visual hierarchy, purposeful data visualisation, and intuitive navigation, the platform empowers traders to act quickly and confidently. The design balances functional precision with subtle warmth, reflecting Covoya’s deep expertise and approachability.
We also added AI capabilities to track the historical performance of coffee varieties, replacing a highly labour-intensive manual system.
Monodraugh
Tech development
Sustainability driven innovation
We were part of the team that developed COOL-PHASE® technology. We led the research, development, and patent generation for this innovative system. Our work was later acquired by Monodraught, who have been commercialising the technology ever since.
COOL-PHASE® is a low-energy alternative to air conditioning that can reduce energy usage by up to 90%. The natural cooling, ventilation, and heat recovery system uses ‘thermal batteries’ to capture energy when it is freely available and release it when needed, lowering energy bills throughout the year.

Made in Mind - MU
Design for manufacture
Certification and Standards
Originally conceived by Made in Mind, the design was strikingly slim — a bold departure from the bulky form factor of traditional plugs.
Bringing this vision to life, however, posed a unique challenge: navigating the UK’s rigorous electrical safety standards (there’s a reason Britain has one of the largest plugs in the world).
After a complex development journey, every requirement was met. The result is a certified, production-ready device — now officially launched as the Mu.
Nokia
Designs that last
Best-selling device in history
In 2000, Paul moved to Nokia Copenhagen. After a few years, he was promoted to Senior Design Engineer and Mechanical Team Leader, developing ultra-high-volume phones for European and emerging markets, including the Nokia 1100 and Nokia 2650.
The Nokia 1100 remains the best-selling hardware device in history, with over 200 million units sold, thanks to its clever and durable design. One key innovation that Paul helped develop was a single-piece silicone keyboard. This design eliminated moving parts and created a seal that greatly improved the phone’s lifespan and reliability
Hayche
Furniture design
From sketch to manufacture
We helped Hayche set up and become founded. We support their furniture design, exhibition design, brand design, and strategy. Additionally, we helped establish a network of international manufacturing partners.
