Adam Eastaway

Adam Eastaway is an aspiring product, furniture and jewellery designer from London. He always aims to bring an innovative, futuristic element to his design’s aesthetics or functions trying to create new designs or better existing solutions.

Eastaway is experienced in designing with metal work, wood, CAD, and foam models even contributing to displays of work shown at Goldsmiths. He is very passionate about achieving the best design possible always finding improvements to be made even in his final designs. This is helped by his incorporation of lots of client and problem focused research in each project aiming to be informed before he tackles a design challenge. He uses the results of this research to approach the design from as many different angles as possible trying to consider all the ways his products would be used by a customer.

Previously, Eastaway has worked with University of the Arts London and Around the Corner, helping to design a seating area for university buildings and taken part in workshops with The Creative Dimension in jewellery design to up-level his craft.
