About
I am an award winning industrial designer with 12 years of industry experience.
My design philosophy is simple… develop legitimate consumer & market based insights to then leverage relevant yet unique and distinctive design solutions.
I then immerse myself in the entire development process, to ensure the design intent is maintained.
I believe I am unique in the field on industrial design, as I have exceptional front-end design skills, i.e. insights development, concept ideation and aesthetic development coupled with a very strong understanding of mechanical engineering, production & manufacturing processes, materials, and immense experience working closely with Chinese manufactures.
I feel I would be a great asset to any team looking for a well-rounded, forward thinking designer, who can handle any and all stages of a project -

Industrial DesignerSunbeam2006 - Apr 2010 (3 years 4 months)I initial started working for Sunbeam Australia as a junior industrial designer, working with lead designers, and learning the ins and outs of in-house product development.

The time I spent at Sunbeam was rich with experiences that have carved out the designer I am proud to be today.
