TinkerLondon was a multidisciplinary design studio based in London that operated from May 2007 to December 2010. I was a partner in the business and co-director, along with Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino and Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi.

We designed products and services that bridge the digital and the physical.

We also taught people how to use new technologies in creative ways through a hands-on approach.

We challenged existing design, innovation and research practices.
