About me
I'm a BEng Product Design graduate from Sheffield Hallam University's class of 2017. I love to solve problems with innovative solutions and strive to keep learning and developing in every stage of my career with the aim of creating products that have a positive affect on the end user. Aside from design, I like to travel and photograph places both near and far as well as kicking a ball around a field at any opportunity. These interests give me another outlet to be creative in and are often a place where inspiration is found. Combining these interests with design, to create innovative products around the world is a personal goal of mine. I am currently looking for a creative product design role that excites me, so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
