About

Hello, my name is Lachlan Hope, a product design graduate from The University of Edinburgh, with a passion for making, exploring, and being curious about design.

From my degree and experience, I have developed strong skills in refining a user journey, prototyping, and making physically and digitally.

My design approach blends aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality to create products that enhance daily life.
