Personal Statement

Having recently graduated from a one year intensive MSc Design Engineering degree, I am now looking for my next challenge as an Industrial Designer or Design Engineer.

I approach design with a focus on designing and developing functional products for manufacture. I enjoy finding solutions through innovative thinking, emotional interaction, cultural influences and well researched, analytical responses. I work best within a team, but I am also able to complete tasts individually providing a distinct and unique perspective, dedication and plenty of hard work!

Future challenges keep me passionate about what I do and motivated to push myself further. With 16 months of experience, I am ready for a new challenge.
