Product Designer I am a creative, organised and conscientious design student with a love for learning and a willingness to go the extra mile. I’m looking for a year’s work placement starting in the summer of 2018. I was born in South Africa, and have lived and worked in China - I love to travel when I have the time! A few of my hobbies include playing Padel, building and tinkering with computers, model building and sim racing.
