About
A current undergraduate at the University of Derby approaching the final year in studying BSc (Hons) Product Design Engineering.
I have finished an industrial placement at Indesit Company and now have knowledge of design for manufacture and thrive upon the prospect of working for a company where I can apply what I have learnt and make a difference with my commitment and hardworking attitude.
Overall I am a creative thinker who has an interest in the technical design of products with strong consideration for how industry manufactures them and how they work. Providing a technical insight into solving a range of different problems I am looking to focus upon, in order to develop an innovative solution. -
