Hello, I'm Jay Powell

I’m an award-winning designer based in Lewes, East Sussex. As a Senior Designer at bespoke kitchen and Joinery studio Hux London, where I lead complex residential and commercial projects, ensuring that ambitious ideas are translated into precise and buildable realities.

I specialise in layered briefs that require both creative sensitivity and technical control. My strength lies in bridging vision and execution: developing clear design intent, producing detailed manufacturing information, coordinating with makers and contractors, and managing budgets, timelines, and client relationships with confidence. I translate design intent into practical, well-considered outcomes, balancing refinement with technical clarity at every stage.

Influenced by nature, culture, materials, colour, and the mechanics of how things are made, I’m committed to continual learning and to the value of transferable skills across disciplines. As Miyamoto Musashi wrote, “If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.”
