Making for conceptual design, predominantly in the luxury retail sector, gave me an advanced level of workshop skills. The overturn was rapid and the deadlines were tight, which was perfect for pressure fuelled problem solving. I've been working here on an off for about two years.
Industrial Design InternFoster + Partners
Sep 2019 - Mar 2020London, United KingdomInternship
I worked in the industrial design department of this famous architecture firm. I found working in an architecture office different from a product design office. Here my research and development upgraded to a superior level due to the philosophy of attention to detail architecture firms have. everything had to be perfect down to the millimetre.

Education

Product and Furniture DesignKingston School of Art
Aug 2015 - Aug 2019Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom
No.1 in the guardian league tables, Kingston offers a course that has a heavy influence of making due to the multi-million pound workshop facilities they own. Because of this I have a diverse range of workshop skills swell as many software skills. Their CAD focus was mainly on Solidworks but I am a fast learner and am known to pick up software completely alien to me in a short amount of time.

A LevelsStrode's College
Aug 2013 - Aug 2015Egham TW20 9LB, UK
My A-levels were reflective of my varied interests- Graphic Products, Philosophy and Biology. I also took extracurricular creative writing classes. They all help me to this day to think outside of the box and bring something different to the table that others won't. What attracted to me to Strodes was the small but affective design technology workshop they had.
