About

I am a very driven individual and I want to continue to challenge myself everyday. I enjoy all sides of design, from the actual designing to building models/prototypes right through to the business side of design. By having a strong interest in all areas I have a wide range of skills and I am always eager to learn more.

I am studying BSc (Hons) Product Design and I am currently in my final year, so I am looking for a job to enter once I graduate.
