About

I've recently moved back to Vancouver after living in Sydney, Australia for the past 13 years. I am currently seeking employment in an innovative environmentally sensitive industrial design consultancy.

I am a keen learner and have a passion for creating designs that are innovative, user friendly and environmentally responsible. I am hardworking, loyal and willing to take on all tasks. I work well as an individual and have the ability to act on my own initiative. I also enjoy working in a team environment and engaging in multi-disciplinary collaboration. When it comes to product design, I feel that there is always room for improvement. I enjoy the challenge of making designs intuitive and efficient, whilst understanding the need to remain within budget.
