Hi, my name’s Chris. But you probably already know that if you have managed to land yourself to this part of the website. Lots of people know I like cycling. Lots of people know I’ve been incredibly lucky to ride in some incredible countries and also that I do a lot of fundraising for charity, mainly The PACE Centre, a school that looks after 107 children with motor based disorders and Movember, a charity championing mens health.

Not so many people know a bit about me and my background. So here’s a bit more information for you.

I studied architecture, working for some of the largest architectural and design firms in the UK, working with incredible clients such as Rapha, Nike, Primark, Google, Deloitte and Facebook to name a few of the fun ones. It was an incredible experience and I learnt tonnes but I found it incredibly stressful, fast paced and eventually I couldn’t hack it any more. I was continually looking for a way out. I gained a lot of weight, started suffering seriously with depression and it effected my personal and work life hugely.

Eventually I left architecture and design to start working in sports marketing and property management. One story lead to another and Jam Cycling was created. Through Jam I was given a lot of opportunities to start creating and designing again, within the realms of the brand.

I decided to look at producing lots of my own things, that I liked and to do it for the fun of it.

So thus began Zero Lemon. I decided to set up my own little design studio, just so I can design things and have some fun with it.

Every now and then I’ll put something up for sale. If you fancy supporting, feel free to purchase and it will be greatly appreciated! Purchases mean I can get more samples and test out some more new things and ideas. Zero Lemon is existing to experiment.

The Podcast:

Being able to talk with and know some fascinating humans really helps me get through life. That’s why the Zero Lemon podcast began. Have a listen and subscribe away as I aim to bring you interesting chats with exciting people who I have the pleasure of knowing

Now the reason:

I’ve been going through a bit of a tough patch personally with lots of things that have been out of my control. Zero Lemon became my way to gain back some control and express things creatively again.

When life gives you lemons, tell life to get a life as lemons are a terrible gift.

Peace out,

Chris x
