The thought process started 3 years ago, by looking at the trends in media consumption. People were rapidly adopting mobile devices as the norm for consuming audio and video content. Whilst headphones took off commercially, we felt there was a need to develop a super high quality shared audio experience that did not require any compromise in living aesthetic.

In order to implicate the Dock into mass production, I managed a team of engineers in China from engineering validation all the way through to mass production. Developing the DOCK in China has allowed me to gain vast amount knowledge on different manufacturing techniques whilst also allowing me to better understand the product development process in the east.
