Jude Pullen
Jude Pullen is an award-winning Design Engineer with an unparalleled appetite to investigate each subject matter that crosses his path.
He currently heads up Research & Development at a London start-up named Sugru (listed by TIME among the top inventions of 2010), at which he has pioneered and recently completed several new product development initiatives.
Born and raised in Cumbria, Jude found that nature inspired much of his formative scientific and artistic experiments. Since graduation he has worked in California, Hong Kong, Norway, Bristol and London, in a range of different environments and industries.
With a passion for bridging seemingly disparate disciplines, he is fascinated by fresh design challenges, be they human, mechanical or virtual. He is exceptionally skilled at creating physical prototypes and using these models to explore design ideas, be they concepts for Dyson, a medical device for NHS, a fire-fighting robot or a mini space-pod.
Jude regularly appears at top-level design events and has been commissioned by leading creative corporations and publications.
He graduated from Glasgow School of Art & Glasgow University with a master’s in Product Design Engineering where his final year project was one of his most formative moments – he created a simple solution to a potentially life threatening problem in anaesthesia for the NHS.
