About
A self-motivated individual with a hunger for design. The passion for sketching and visual communication naturally evolved throughout the journey of education, developing into an organised collection of skills. The knowledge obtained from previous employment along with internships and freelance activities has proven the capability of succeeding in the industry as well as having a thorough grounding of the process of new product development.
Having successfully obtained a first class honours degree in BSc Product Design, and a growing understanding of the commercial world, I am equipped with a creative mind, excellent communication abilities and I am now ready to push my potential to new and diverse heights.
My Purpose:
To achieve employment within the design industry and become a successful professional designer
within the product/industrial or automotive fields.
Through the products that I design, the projects I undertake, I believe there is a chance to create influential solutions which improve everyday living - whether this be in a little or large way.

Education

First Class Honours BSc (Hons) Product DesignThe University of Huddersfield2010 - 2014Subjects that the degree included were: working with CAD software packages, stress and strain analyses, surface and solid modelling, prototyping, manufacturing and fabrication methods, ergonomics, anthropometrics, hand sketching/rendering, business/market strategies and personal design projects. As well as providing a thorough grounding of the design process, the degree work has also taught me effective time management and prioritisation skills, organisation skills and analytical skills. During the degree, presentations to seminar groups as well as professional design consultancies as part of live projects were undertaken. This has aided in developing strong presentation and communication skills.

Product DesignerCastleford, United KingdomMar 2016 - Jun 2016 (3 months)Working as part of the in house marketing and design team I was responsible for:
Developing the current product lines to improve aesthetic/function with far eastern suppliers, utilising SolidWorks as the main design tool to visualise new products from research to concept stage, liaising with the marketing department about product improvements and customer wants/needs presented in the form of professional research presentations, prototyping and testing of product developments using 3D printing, being actively involved with NPD meetings.
As the design department was still fairly new to the business, it was very interesting to see the research and development structure being developed to ensure further company growth, based on the efforts of the marketing department. -
