Junior Designer

Whilst at University, I held this full time placement practising industrial design. In spite of being a student, the vast majority of my designs were manufactured and employed at various national exhibitions, such as the World Travel Market at London’s ExCel, as well as galleries and numerous other locations. As well as significant professional fulfillment, the experience also showed me I could move anywhere in the country, enjoy it and meet new people.
