About
An ambitious, hard working individual, currently studying at Nottingham Trent University. I have a keen interest in product and packaging design. I enjoy the possibilities in design and love to create objects that are both aesthetically and functionally pleasing, whilst developing and understanding of the human psyche and perception involved in sales and presentation. I'm creative and confident in my own abilities, but now seek the opportunity to develop a 'real world' understanding of the financial and media-conscious parameters that enable a company to develop their product placement and public image to best effect.
