Alumni
My background is set in the field of industrial design where I’ve gained experience working with major companies including Unilever, Philips, Mars, and Bowers & Wilkins to name but a few.
My role as a designer is mainly centred around the ideation, design and fabrication of micro-electronics hardware with expertise in 3D modelling software and render packages to produce industry standard mass manufacturable designs. Previous pieces of work have involved the collaborations of multi-disciplinary teams where my skills have also been applied to developing the UI/UX of user based platforms and services.
