About me
One year on from graduating with a First-class Honours in Product Design (BSc) from the University of Leeds, I am looking for opportunities to take on my first significant design role. Since my studies I have completed a number of shorter work placements and projects but now I pursue a more established industry environment. My immediate experience is in the product and/or industrial capacity, however, I am currently up-skilling in illustration and UX/UI design! Please check out my LinkedIn profile for my CV and previous Portfolio!
