MARCUS COMASCHI
R&D Engineer
Marcus has worked as an engineer for large corporations such as Ford Motors, emerging companies and as a freelance R&D Engineer. He is responsible for product and systems design, rapid prototyping and testing. He believes experimentation with undefined ideas and concepts to lead to the most interesting design outcomes. He is Lucky enough to have had work implemented and exhibited across the UK, including the V&A and the Royal College of Art, as well as collaborating with anthropologists to develop interactive art installations and workshops with the Arts Council across the UK.
Marcus Graduated from Imperial College London (MSc), the Royal College of Art (MA) and Cardiff University (BEng)
In spare time he enjoys running, hiking and camping. He is always keen to take part in obscure adventures, whether that's running 230 miles from Worthing to Paris or walking the Pindos mountains in northern Greece. Marcus believes adventures and immersing in different cultures is key to great design thinking.
Marcus has been awarded multiple Innovate UK grants for his own company GyroPlant for the Ag-Tech industry
