Overview
Leading Edge is a consultancy providing specialised services to help bring physical products to life. I bring design thinking into business processes, product applications and their production, bridging the gap between customer needs, production readiness and relevant, impactful design. My core focus is on designing products and applications within integrated systems that make processes more efficient.
I have a continued investment in the composite paper product market. These services centre on the process implementation required for the sale, design and manufacture of composite paper products.
More recently, in attempt to overcome persistent delivery obstacles for a few personal web-related passion projects, I expanded my skills and have extended my offering to include WordPress development and E-commerce management.
