This workshop for me was very ideal for improving in product design area of furniture, lighting and home accessories were I was asked to design my room at home. It was very ideal opportunity for me to experiment with and explore disciplines within product design.

I have taken part in The Architecture Foundation Urban Pioneers education programme in areas of cities undergoing dramatic change to explore the transformations happening around people and to develop new skills in film making, radio production and website design. I have also had chance of travelling to Rotterdam to visit the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut to learn about waterfront developments in Holland.

While studying Car Engineering (part time) during my last academic year of high school at college, I had the chance of going to northern Italy for a week long trip. During my trip in Italy I have visited the Lamborghini Museum & Factory (limeted tour) and TEXA which is a leading company in the construction of diagnostic and self-diagnostic devices for cars, bikes, commercial vehicles, agricultural vehicles and marine engines.
