Background

About Tim Ford

I am a design leader with 19 years’ experience across multiple disciplines. An industrial designer by training with penchants for branding, typography and soft goods, I am equally comfortable designing products, footwear, apparel, graphics or experiences. My ability to move seamlessly between 2D, 3D and fashion design at a high level, and to synthesise these into one coherent brand voice, has led to design roles at executive level. Throughout my career (particularly working for Nike) I have also honed strong research, trend analysis and planning skills, developed highly successful inter-departmental collaboration processes, gained vast experience working with offshore suppliers, and discovered the formula for great leadership and company culture. I’m a fast learner and adapt quickly to new projects or environments, but I have an individual voice as a designer that permeates my work. I am passionate about positively impacting people's lives through thoughtfully executed product and brand experiences.
