Wotcha, Gaz!

Hello Quirks!

My name is Gaz and I have just had the pleasure of joining the Quirky design team. I hail from the fair country of England and grew up among the sheep and cows of a little town called Malvern. Wooden sports cars and the spring water the Queen drinks originate there, along with my good self…

I’ve been working as a designer in NYC for close to a decade now, and can’t wait to get stuck in helping to shape our Industrial Design capabilities. I am working with a skilled team of designers here and along with Bertha and the amazing Quirky staff I know we are going to go to great places. We’ll also be constantly investigating ways to get you guys involved in the design process too, so watch this space!

Fun facts about me:

Won the Design and Technology prize at Primary school two years in a row, ages 9 and 10

Played Cello (badly) in a Manhattan-based Community Orchestra a few years ago, need to start practicing again though… :-0

Got bitten on the face by my previous boss’s Pitbull, needing 35 stitches… not that fun really

Outside of work I am a full-time janitor (on my own ramshackle house which I share with my wife and two cats)
