BYRON
A Collection of all thing Creative
Hello!
I’m Byron, a multidisciplinary designer/maker.
For me, the process of both designing and making act as a medium with which I am most confident in explaining myself. My practice stands for recognising the responsibility that I have as a creative: to mitigate the impact that I have on the planet through the decisions that I make when creating.
Objects and furniture are a part of our lives in so many ways, from acting as an extension of our personalities, to material obstacles that we label as waste and discard. Creating meaningful connections to the objects with which we surround ourselves has a radical significance for how we enjoy there existense, and how we relate to them in our everyday lives.

A Story
My childhood was spent running around a farm, treating it like a massive playground to make and create anything my friends and I could dream up. These years facilitated a deep understanding of the environment, and showed me the important of living with the earth rather than just on it.
Fast-forward to a Art Foundation at Leeds Arts University, and a BA in 3D Design at Northumbria University in Newcastle – It was here that I learnt the skills to build furniture, and my passion for the subject began. I started to piece together what I want my creative work to stand for, learning all about different aesthetics, and beginning to develop my own.
After graduating from Northumbria, I moved to London to study an MA in Material Futures at Central St Martins. In these two years, I honed my making skills and continued to work on my own practice, looking at ways to explain myself through material objects. The importance of the natural enviroment became the prominent factor within my work, starting to understand the responsibilities I have when it come to creating objects that exist in the world.
