Profile I am an enthusiastic product designer with a particular interest in designing aesthetic pieces which are functional as well as beautiful. I have a passion for exploring the design process through the means of model making and find this enables me to explore my designs thoroughly. Following a placement year within the furniture industry I was eager to put the knowledge and skills I had gained into my final year projects. As a multi-disciplinary designer, I am always looking to use my creativity for future designs and look forward to the next stage in my design career. I have a great interest in research and design of elegant and minimalist design: making products which are sleek and sophisticated is an area which I am particularly enthusiastic about. I have a keen interest in the manufacturing of products and the processes behind the development of a product. I enjoy experimenting with different materials within the products I design.
