About me

I am a very hard working individual with aims of becoming an entrepreneur. I have extreme interests in fibre development and smart textiles, I love to test boundaries an idea lines between technology and fabric are blurred and become one. I am a very concept driven individual (an ideas person) that continuously has a exciting development plan that can evolve to a whole new outlook within the boundary's set. I evolve under pressure and love to work within a fast paced constantly changing enviroment.
