About

Bridging the gap between aesthetic excellence and functional rational; I, as a Product Design Engineer (Bachelor’s Degree of Engineering), offer a fresh new perspective and a thirst for the intellectually and aesthetically challenging. Things that have inspired me, in the past, are; Leonardo DaVinci’s innovative design (centuries before its time) and Marc Newson’s organic and playful design aesthetic. I am quick to pick up new ideas and concepts, and have excellent communication capabilities.

Education

BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (Product Design Engineering)

Swinburne University of Technology

2006 - 2012

I am currently studying a Bachelor of engineering (Product Design Engineering)at Swinburne University Technology. This course encompasses the technical proficiencies of a Mechanical Engineer as well as the creative intuitiveness of an Industrial Designer. I have only the second half of my thesis professional design project to complete in the second half of next year (2012) before I graduate. In the mean time I am enthusiastic to become part of a professional design team to gain insight into insight as to how an Australian based design company operates. As I am yet to graduate from my degree I am willing to negotiate employment details (part-time, full-time, intern-ship) if your company views me as a promising contribution to your team.
