Gurdeep Singh Sandhu
Personal Profile
A qualified product designer of 2007 anticipating the right opportunity to develop my skills based within the east midlands. As a graduate currently working in an industry unrelated to design, usually on a daily basis self tutor from tutorials. I have a burning passion & ambition for 3d visualisation excited when using my imagination creating concepts. I would describe myself as confident yet practical down to earth at communicating & listening In essence a methodical working designer with a passion for my work, an eye for detail, organisational skills and a team player. From my last project I have developed an important understanding regarding environmental aspects concerning the climate.
My goals and achievements are as follows to become a conceptual designer with four main goals, firstly to land that all important design job.

Secondly to gain knowledge of a intermediate to advanced level of modelling concentrating in surface design as I feel this is the future of C.A.D (solidworks) and rendering image production (3d studio max Vray mainly). I have enjoyed developing past concepts from university projects for live companies and sharing design ideas. My major accomplishment so far is my major project the Solar Tree which can be found on numerous webpage’s.

Thirdly to become one of the many great talented British designers, to be well respected, thrive and excite individuals within the industry.

Fourthly to gain a good level of hands on experience involving manufacturing process such as CNC machining and basically building from start to finish the various product stages as I’m lacking this all important skill from the time frame of graduating to getting that first job at present.
I realise my grades are of average level and may feel after reading this CV this is not our guy, but what I lack in qualification I definitely make up in passion and desire. I anticipate the arrival of a fantastic opportunity excited to thrive in a creative environment to produce captivating concepts, photo realistic images, alongside unique innovative products.
