I’m Charlotte Hogan, a Product Design graduate (Industrial Product Design) from the University of Canterbury, and I’m currently building my marketing foundation through a Postgraduate Diploma of Business focused on Marketing. I love combining creativity with problem-solving, moving from early concepts and research through to practical, well-presented outcomes that work in real-world contexts. My experience spans industrial design, branding and digital design using software such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. Alongside client-style and capstone projects, I’ve developed skills in prototyping, testing, typography, and marketing strategy. I have experience in hands-on retail roles where I manage customer service, stock, and daily store operations. I enjoy collaborative team environments, and I’m excited to contribute to meaningful projects that blend thoughtful design with strong strategy.
