I incorporate digital technologies into my design process alongside hands on construction techniques.My work is designed in response to either self a directed brief or commission and is designed with the notion of a batch or mass production run in mind.I established my business in early 2006 and design and manufacture a range of interior products sold through a selection of independent retailers both in the UK and abroad."-Jethro Maceywww.jethromacey.com
