Education and Work

I have successfully completed a Design and Technology Degree at Brunel University achieving a 2-1 BA (Hons) degree. During my degree I had the opportunity to carry on my studies in design abroad at San Francisco State University for 6 months. On returning from this I undertook a 9 month paid industrial placement at Animal, the U.K leading action sports brand.

At Animal I worked in the equipment design team as a Junior Product Designer working on luggage, footwear and other accessories. For these I developed design concepts and saw them through to production, working closely with other designers and the product developers. I also did a large amount of work on SMUs and colour way options as well as custom graphics for Animal sponsored athletes and teams. During my time there I developed a strong awareness of brand positioning in the market place.

During my time at university and since leaving I have worked on a number of varied freelancing projects for brands such as Animal, Firetrap and Nike Vision.
