MICHAEL RUDAK
PRODUCT DESIGNER
PROFILE Bold; innovative; intuitive. I strive to be all three of these as to me this is what makes a successful designer. No matter how simplistic or challenging the project is, I urge myself to meet all three criteria and achieve the best standard of design; this is conveyed in the work I produce. I can handle myself in high pressure and important situations and I believe that I could gel with, and be an asset to any team.

JULY 14 - APRIL 15 DESIGN THINKER This placement gave me the opportunity to highlight my design skills and communicate directly with clients. I enjoyed the trust of having independent projects.
