Sam Janzen

With a mature focus in ideation and problem-solving, my work combines subtlety in form with innovative concepts. I am seeking a graduate design position, bringing my analytical consumer observations to aid in the creation and development of interaction design. I would like to continue to learn how industry design functions, and relish the opportunity of working with like-minded people. Through two years of international competitions, I have gained experience in working briefs and real-world prototype manufacture using local businesses. My three years at university have aided me in honing my skills and design idealisms, consisting of: technically-minded mechanisms, blending artistic skills with marketable products, realistic ecological manufacture, forward-thinking conceptual designs and graphical UI fitting into very current trends. Although aware of the target markets, I have developed my own style, working on my own and integrating well as part of team.
