About
A good all round industrial/product designer. No challenge is too big. I am a team player but work equally well individually.
I enjoy the whole process of design, from concept development through to Production.
I am British, but currently living in New Zealand, I am available to work remotely on projects; but also willing to travel or relocate for the right position. -
