Available to hire
I am a hard working, motivated individual with a passion for good design. I have vast experience in taking products from concept stages right through to mass production. I am very organised and have a proven track record of managing multiple projects within defined timescales. I am comfortable speaking in large groups and leading a team.
I am always looking for ways to continually improve my design abilities, whether it be through learning new software, improving my sketching ability or just keeping up to date with the latest design trends. I firmly believe there is always an opportunity to improve my design abilities which will then translate through into the products I design.
