As one of India’s leading product designers, Michael has won accolades and recognition internationally. After spending more than a decade with Titan Company Ltd (formerly Titan Industries), where he is credited with designing the hugely popular Titan ‘Edge’ and ‘Fastrack’ watches, he founded Foley Designs, which has become one of the leading multidisciplinary design studios in the country under his creative leadership. Over the last eight years, the Bangalore-based designer has stamped his aesthetic sensibilities on a body of work which, more likely than not, has a place in many Indian homes, sometimes even without their owners’ knowledge. Foley has designed water purifiers for Hindustan Unilever and the understated but elegant packages for ITC’s Fiama Di Wills range of personal care products. He has built an impressive client list, which includes Microsoft, Godrej, HP, Wipro and Mindtree. He also conceptualised and created the baton for the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.
He is also the founder of TLV Solutions, a design execution company, with the intent of delivering simple and innovative product designs combined with world class design realisation. AFoley Designs focuses on building multi-disciplinary teams from the onset of a project to enhance our ability to acknowledge, understand and solve problems through intuitive design solutions. Incorporated in the latter half of 2006, Foley Designs built a core specialization in product design, augmented with capabilities in experience design, brand identity, design innovation and strategy to create a holistic design consulting model.
