PROFILE
CONTACT
KTCHN A diverse thinking product design graduate from Nottingham Trent University driven by a genuine passion and curiosity in design that stems far wider than the subject itself. With a keen interest in gaining a variety of skills (from CAD to interpersonal communication) and this can already be seen in the selection experience gained from internships with Nestlé and Object CAD/CAM Solutions as well as highlighting personal willingness to travel. Excellent communication skills throughout these experiences as well as my studies were key, and have brought about commendations from Unilever, Nestlé and other live clients. As a result I am hard working, determined, with an innate ability to quickly learn skills, in the search for becoming an industry ready “T” shaped designer.
