Philippa Aldrich, founder of The Future Perfect Company, began the Designing for the Future project in 2010 to encourage student designers to consider the challenges presented by our ageing population.
Formerly a partner in a City law firm, Philippa also uses her legal and business background to support designers once they have left education and start to pursue design careers and establish their own creative businesses.
Philippa is a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce and as a trustee of the Michael Aldrich Foundation, she is also responsible for the Aldrich Collection of Contemporary Art.
