About Me. I’m a second year Product Design student from Bedfordshire, studying at Nottingham Trent University. I aim to produce creative and innovative solutions to design briefs, while keeping a user centred approach. I enjoy using sketching and CAD as an explorative tool within my work, but i have a love for the whole design process. Outside of design, I enjoy playing sports and exercising as well as listening to and mixing music.
