I am a highly qualified, creative and practical product designer, specializing in new product development, CAD (Solid, Surface & Mesh modelling), prototyping, and crowd funding. With experience in the consumer product and elite sportswear design industries, I have taken products from initial concept through to production and retail (both “B to B” and “B to C”).
I am an innovative problem solver who will perform under pressure and to strict deadlines. With a strong work ethic, keen eye for aesthetics and solid understanding of the design process, I will be an asset to any design team.
