I am an undergraduate BSc (Hons) Product Design student. I define myself as a hardworking, ambitious, confident person who enjoys problem solving and works very effectively upon creative thinking. The concept of developing future products to market is something which inspires me to learn from professionals and achieve an understanding of business.
The sort of modules which have been undertaken so far in the course are;
Design Context
Product Engineering Design
Innovation
These modules along with the others undertaken have developed my sketching ability, development of concepts, presentation skills, initial research methods, CAD development skills and the ability to be realistic with a design with regards to manufacturability of parts as well as well as material choice and application. My understanding of such is developing and I am keen to learn new skills
I enjoy playing the trumpet and have obtained Grade IV. I have also been an active member of the School Wind Band, participating in numerous School concerts and have taken part in band exchange to Melle, Germany for four days.
I have also enjoyed attending a martial arts class for the last five years and currently hold a brown belt award. This has been very rewarding and has built up confidence in myself.
I am also very interested in Design which is a large passion of mine which I wish to carry on into the future.
