Award-winning product designer and entrepreneur Danny Lenihan was born in West London, raised in Chessington and now lives in the Shires with his two children, Evie and George, a smattering of Hobbits and the occasional wallaby. A former press photographer and stand-up comedian, Danny spends his days designing for his two global brands,
3 Legged Thing and Morally Toxic.

A passionate writer, Danny has contributed to several books (actually one, but he bought two copies) prior to penning his own, and has had articles published worldwide. He has written for TV, film and radio, and hosts his own, utterly childish, comedy podcast.

Previously a finalist in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, Danny shot to notoriety in the photographic industry when he launched his own tripod brand, 3 Legged Thing in 2010. Defying convention and focusing on innovation and engineering, Danny's designs are widely considered to be the industry benchmark in camera support technology, winning the prestigious Lucie Technical Award in 2017.

For more than a decade, Danny ruined the world as a stand-up comedian, during which time he featured and starred in three British horror movies (in which he died four times, a record only recently beaten by Tom Cruise in 'Edge of Tomorrow': Tom cheated though.) and was a frequent panellist and contributor to BBC Radio. Danny composed the musical score to Pat Higgins' debut horror movie, Trashhouse.

He can also speak to cats.
