Daniel Knox

With a passion for product design and an eye for functional products that stand the test of time, I have enjoyed an exciting career within various industries of design and engineering. From creating performance fabrics to crafting premium electronic consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), I have acquired invaluable experience and skills that have put me in an advantageous position in the industry.

I hope during the Ecological Citizens research project I am able to help set a new standard to prepare communities in helping nurture the environment for generations to come. As a lecturer, I have been able to share my diverse knowledge and experience of different techniques, design methodologies, and ways of working gained from my varied industry experience to the benefit of my students.

In 2014, I had the privilege of working at Dyson, where I honed my design skills and gained hands-on experience in consumer research, prototyping, testing, and design for manufacture. This opportunity led me to spend some time in Singapore, where I helped prepare a product for manufacture and assembly.

Additionally, my time at Unilever's Global Design Technology Hub allowed me to further develop my expertise in mentoring junior designers, designing for mass production, and developing plans and strategies to meet Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, cycling, and embarking on adventures with loved ones.
