I'm a second-year BSc Product Design & Technology student at Aston University, based in Birmingham. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible products using CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360), structural analysis, and Arduino prototyping, with a focus on user-centred design and sustainability. I thrive on juggling part-time work and entrepreneurial ventures alongside my studies, and I'm eager to contribute to a forward-thinking product design or engineering team during placement. I'm a detail-oriented problem-solver who values clear communication and collaborative teamwork. I regularly apply iterative prototyping, user testing, and usability refinement to deliver high-quality design outcomes, while balancing manufacturing considerations and material efficiency.
