Jeffrey Doruff is a Lecturer and Stage Leader for the BA Product and Industrial Design program at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. He is also a practicing Product Designer, Researcher, and Project Coordinator with the Design Against Crime Research Lab, focusing on collaborative, human-centred design for social innovation.
His educational background includes an MA in Industrial Design from the University of the Arts London, completed between 2016 and 2018.
Jeffrey's research and professional interests lie in human-centred design, co-design processes, design against crime, and inclusive public infrastructure. He has led numerous knowledge exchange projects involving retail security, self-checkout systems, and public space safety, often working with vulnerable populations such as prisoners and low-income communities.
His work bridges academic teaching and real-world application, with strong emphasis on collaborative design methodologies and social impact. Projects have included partnerships with Clear Channel, Barking and Dagenham Council, and supermarket retailers to improve public infrastructure and reduce retail loss.
Jeffrey has contributed to several editorial and knowledge exchange outputs, particularly around self-checkout design and public participation in design. While these are practice-based reports and presentations, they reflect a consistent thematic focus on usability, equity, and crime prevention through design.
He advises and teaches across both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, having led design for publics initiatives in the MA Industrial Design course. There is no mention of formal PhD or Master’s student supervision in the provided texts.
Jeffrey is actively involved in lab-based and team-oriented design research, particularly through the Design Against Crime Research Lab, where he contributes to interdisciplinary, socially engaged projects that integrate design thinking with public policy and community needs.
