Hefin Jones is a 2013 graduate of our BA Design course and currently a visiting lecturer in the Design department here at Goldsmiths. We were very happy to hear that he will be one of this year’s Designers in Residence at the Design Museum starting September.

The brief for the 2015 residency program of the Design Museum was “Migration”: “It can be a reflection of objects or processes that imply movement, or transition, of shifting and cross-fertilising cultures, or of mobility.” The other three young designers to be part of the program are Chris Green, Stephanie Hornig and Alexa Pollman.

This is just one of many successes for Hefin, whose Goldsmiths graduation project, “The Welsh Space Campaign”, was exhibited in Rotterdam, covered by iTV and Wired, and won the 2013 Christine Risley award.
