Product design at Loughborough offered a variety of key skills such as CAD, sketching, prototyping and electro-mechanical design, also having completed a successful year in industry which helped me develop myself both in a professional environment and as a product designer. I am looking to further my business knowledge and experience to pursue a career in global manufacturing and product design.
