I am a forward thinking and highly motivated individual with a profound interest in innovation. I explore problem areas to create contemporary solutions ensuring a compelling user experience.
My design method is thorough and encompasses experience from a range of methods including CAD (NX and Solidworks), Adobe CC and iterative sketching. I consistently perform admirably under pressure and exploit challenges in order to stimulate growth. Team exercises including working with individuals from a range of disciplines is a definite personal strength. Transferrable skills including design thinking, problem-solving and planning and strategy are well established from my Diploma of Professional Studies at Princess Yachts. I strive to attain a position within a forward thinking company where there would be considerable opportunity to contribute, progress and succeed whilst developing myself as a designer.
