About me
Designer & Product Developer with experience in luxury & mass market commercial design, from concept through to successful product launch.
I enjoy working hands on as part of a team, and helping others, as demonstrated within my growing industry experience, both in the UK and international markets. As well as independently, where I can effectively use my own initiative, turning aspirational and conceptual ideas into commercial value for any customer/client.
I always like to push myself to achieve the best possible outcome, whilst learning in new experiences, and developing my existing skill set. I particularly enjoy working in a fast paced and dynamic environment, always with the aim to work hard, deliver core design attributes and achieve set targets and deadlines, alongside my own personal goals and ambitions.
Currently seeking both Freelance & Permanent positions - open to relocation!
