Jim Rokos
London based industrial designer Jim Rokos had explored many creative areas, before discovering his passion for Industrial Design. Originally trained as a model-maker in the film and television industry (The Muppet Treasure Island, Band of Brothers, Tomb Raider, Victoria and Albert), then a photographer’s assistant, then a film extra, Jim went on to design an innovative cat-food bowl – over 50,000 have been sold throughout Europe. Jim then went on to teach at a special needs school in London, before completing a Master’s degree (2006) in Industrial Design, at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, part of London’s University of the Arts.
After graduating he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, which now supports his ongoing project ‘MINDPLAN’, helping people to recover from a long-term illness to maintain a healthy life balance.
Jim is passionate to explore materials to create original and visually beautiful, refined concepts. He enjoys every stage of the design process. New creative techniques are sought to generate original ideas.
