Retail Designer

I worked at Inca Creative for my professional placement year. The job involved creating technical designs for shop fixtures and large scale visual merchandising displays. Receiving client briefs and seeing them through to installation provided me with many valuable experiences. My knowledge of manufacturing processes has vastly improved, as well as my ability to communicate directly with the manufacturers and also clients.

Studio Assistant

At the shared stained glass and ceramic studio, I learnt about the process of making a stained glass window.

UNIQ Material Science Summer School

• Jul 2014 - Jul 2014

The summer school at Oxford University involved experiencing what the life of a Materials Science student is like, attending lectures and seminars by Oxford academics and being mentored by current undergraduates, as well as working in the labs. It was a valuable experience, and helped trigger an interest in smart materials and how valuable it is to exploit the latent potential in nature.
