About

I am a product designer currently working for Optima Design Services, a design consultancy based in South Normanton.

I am hardworking, reliable and self-motivated. I use my own initiative, have the ability to work both as an individual and as part of a team and form effective, credible and proactive relationships with people at all levels.

I have skills in using a range of CAD software including Solidworks, PTC Creo and Keyshot and have also used AutoCAD, Fusion 360 and SketchUp.

I have good knowledge of other software packages such as the Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office.

I have the skills to create accurate and high standard prototypes and have a good knowledge of materials and manufacture.

I have a high attention to detail and have good time keeping skills which allow me to work to deadlines.

'Slazenger' Branded Hair Dryer V2: Design for Manufacture

'Slazenger' Branded Hair Dryer V2: Design for Manufacture from Edward Otter

'Slazenger' Branded Hair Dryer V2: Design for Manufacture

The second of the two 'Slazenger' Branded Hair Dryer projects was conducted in the second term of my second year of study. For this project, a select few of the concept hairdryers from the previous term were chosen, mine being one of them, and in groups, these were re-imagined, keeping as much of the original design as possible to incorporate all of the necessary internal components. Everything had to be considered: Materials, Manufacture, Cost, Ergonomics etc.
