About
In a career currently dominated by ever changing trends and customer deadlines, I have acquired key skills in Project Management, General Business Management, Operations and Sales. Creativity, drive and flair combined with strong interpersonal skills not only give me the maturity to relate at all levels but the willingness to work in a team. These skills over time have helped me to create initial concepts to become reality. I welcome new challenges to help improve, explore and further my knowledge.

Education

Bachelor of Arts (BA) Product DesignDe Montfort University2006 - 2009This course helped me focus on the in depth detail required for Product Designing. Focusing on market research, design brief, visual communications/graphics, form, aesthetics, function, technical drawing, model making skills and marketing. Final year project was focused on a bespoke nail gun used within the shoe repairing industry. This design along with a project for the RSA Bursary Competition - Designed to Quit (NRT Product) was chosen to be presented at the New Designers Show 2010. Along with receiving one of the top marks for the above projects I also got short listed and runner up for an Orange mobile phone concept design which was published in the D&AD Student Awards 2008.
