An interview with Kevin Doherty of Gazel design studio

IS IT surprising that someone who enjoyed inventing things as a child should end up designing, or in some cases reinventing, everyday household objects?

For Kevin Doherty, co-founder of Dublin-based design studio Gazel, and an engineering graduate who worked for several years in gas and oil and pharmaceutical industries, it came about when he took the life changing decision of returning to college.

There he met his business partner Ronan Murphy who had taken a similar decision and left a career in film-making and carpentry.
