About
A focused, innovative and motivated designer who is looking to the next challenging project. Enjoys working within a high paced team and generating unique solutions.
I am an agile thinker embracing new challenges across a breadth of disciplines, looking to contribute towards the company’s success.
Confident in my decision making skills, I work well both in-house and alongside 3rd parties and suppliers. I have a strong technical knowledge and experience in outfitting, developed through industry involvement.
In 2004 I set up and ran a landscape design company to utilize my creative strengths, before going onto to train professionally at University.
I aim to contribute my advancing skill sets towards larger responsibility.
Being ambitious and taking great pride in my work, I have produced through consistent development, improved concepts.
I have a strong passion for the automotive industry. This educated appreciation of style, detail and solid engineering will be visible within the work which I present. -
