Michael O'Driscoll
Senior Product Designer
Michael joins Aetha Design from York St. John University where he studied Product Design. He also has a Masters in 3D Design and Technologies. Michael is probably our most talkative designer to work in the studio and the only Yorkshireman we have met who doesn’t drink tea (or even more unusual for a designer – Coffee!!).
Michael is a super keen cyclist and photographer.
Stanley Binns
Product Designer
Stanley joined Aetha Design in 2022 after graduating from Brunel University where he studied Industrial Design & Technology. As well as been a very talented product designer, he is also very nifty on a sewing machine and has worked on several soft goods projects already!
When he's not designing, you can find Stanley cheering for Fulham FC. Fun fact: he's also not a coffee drinker!
Rebekah Blinman
Product Designer
Bek joins Aetha Design from Loughborough University where she studied Product Design and Technology. She joins us after gaining experience at another product design consultancy before deciding to move back to the coast to join Aetha.
Bek is a super keen scuba diver and is trained in various martial arts!
Phoebe
CVO - Chief Visionary Officer.
Phoebe is our office rescue. She is a Heinz of sorts – lab x spaniel x wippet. She is super-fast and a ideal companion running or cycling to work. We call her the CVO – Chief Visionary Officer. She is 6 years old now but we have had her since she was 7 months.
