Ray is a designer and builder based in the west of Ireland. His work focuses on the physical systems that underpin industrial and environmental processes. Drawing from hands-on experience building and commissioning a commercial-scale pyrolysis plant, Ray applies technical knowledge to a range of sculptural, functional, and experimental projects.

These include carbon-based objects that incorporate pyrolysis char. Each piece is grounded in real-world systems and materials, often drawing directly from Ray’s ongoing work with pyrolysis processes.

FutureBright Studio explores the intersection of technical design and material experimentation — producing objects that reflect both engineering constraints and broader questions about energy, transformation, and use. The studio’s focus is on creating physically coherent, well-resolved work informed by process and form.

Ray is currently managing operations at the pyrolysis plant while developing new applications for the biochar it produces.
