Nursultan Barun Interior Designer / Industrial Product Designer Portfolio 2020
CURRICULUM VITAE After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in product design, I have been working for 6 years as a creative designer for major companies in the craft furniture sector. I have a huge desire to improve the lives of people with my works. I see designing spaces and products as a way of communicating with people and a lot of inspiration is drawn from my time in workshops; transforming old designs and pushing the limits of materials has provided a huge influence in authentic and modern designs. I have hugely enjoyed working in companies which share my passion for communicating with people through their products.
