About Me

I am a committed, quietly confident Graduate Industrial Designer.

 

I am interested in the technical aspects of products, what they need to do, how they need to perform and ultimately how best to realise that whilst still achieving a positive aesthetic appeal. I have a broad interest and ability therefore am happy dealing with detailed design and manufacturing considerations as I am with the general conceptualisation. I have further multidisciplinary ability within graphic design, photography and model making. My keen eye for detail and perfection drives my ambition where only the best is good enough.

 

Throughout University I completed many projects to explore aspects of design and engineering. The Shell Eco Marathon Car is a voluntary project which I enjoyed and learned many new skills including clay modelling, moulding and casting. The team which I was proud to be part of also gained a university record.

​

Having completing my University Placement at Triton Showers based in Nuneaton. My role was to Photograph spare parts, edit the protographs so they are suitable for the website.  As I was also based within the R&D department I also helped where needed to model components, render images and help develop new concepts some to be released very soon others have already been released.

 

I also previously worked in store for the well-known home improvement store; Homebase. I was employed throughout the store as a Showroom Advisor as well as training to become a supervisor. My role consists of taking Kitchen and Bathroom leads, helping customers, and making sales. I also assist in controlling POS and maintaining store standards including pricing, ordering stock and layouts. Most recently I re-merchandised the Flooring and Tiling section.

​

I was then fortunate to gain a new position as Design Planner at the Homebase Head Office. I was responsible for managing the design development process of new design concepts of store fixtures. This included design intent, preparation of cost assessment, and documentation of the new fixtures. I was also responsible for the production of engineering drawings of legacy fixtures in stores.

 

Outside of work, I volunteer as an Assistant Explorer Scout Leader and Group Admin, I work closely with another assistant to run the group of around 30 teenagers.

 

Scouting was a major part in helping me gain my Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. I will also now be running the DofE award with my Explorer Scouts.
