Research

I'm developing doctoral research on knowledge transfer, organizational socialization, and occupational well-being in European guitar-making SMEs. This research will combine ethnographic fieldwork (multi-sited interviews and participant observation) with organizational psychology frameworks to understand how craft expertise is transmitted and how craft workers maintain health and engagement across their careers.

For inquiries about research participation, please feel free to reach out.

About

I'm Mitch, a guitar maker and organizational psychologist who works with European craft businesses to strengthen their teams. With experience across South African and German guitar manufacturing, I understand the unique challenges craft-based workshops face: transmitting expertise, building sustainable teams, and securing the future of the craft. I'm currently pursuing doctoral research on these dynamics.
