About
I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts in 2014 with a BA (Hons) in Product Design & Interaction. During my course I designed and produced a variety of products. For my Final Major Project I designed and created a flat pack table with simplified self assembly. I am a motivated individual driven by design as a focal point. I made a lot of use of SolidWorks and 3D printing and I would like to use this skill in my future career. My table was presented in New Designers 2014 exhibition in London where there was a lot of interest.

Client Based ProjectRadio WeyJan 2010 - Jun 2010 (5 months)For this project I had to design and create a product that I could target to an existing company and I needed an easily accessible client for my product. Radio Wey is a community based charity radio station broadcasting online and within St Peter's and Ashford hospitals. As I knew one of the Radio Presenters this would be the perfect client to use, I created my product around the company's needs, receiving feedback from the Committee on changes to do with my designs and developed my product according to their brief.
