Fabrizio Cocchiarella

Designer and Design Educator

Today I’m lucky to be joined by not only a designer but a degree and masters level educator. This is an important episode as we’ll get some perspective from working as a designer and also some insight into design education after school.

Fabrizio Cocchiarella, Fab as most people call him studied design right through to Master’s level at the Royal College of Art in London before going on to work for various companies in the space of interior design, retail design, and furniture design. Fab then moved on to work at the Manchester Metropolitan University. He has led the 3-dimensional design degree course and is currently a Senior lecturer on the masters level interiors program.      

I’ve known Fab for a very long time and regard him as one of the most creative people I know. I’m really interested to hear his perspective on how to go about turning creativity into a job.
