I am a 22-year old graduate designer from Yorkshire, UK. During my free time I like to ride mountain bikes, cook new dishes, listen to history podcasts, do pub quizzes, and travel - in the summer of 2024, I will be doing the Mongol Rally with some friends, a challenge to drive a ridiculously unsuitable car from the UK to Mongolia.
I decided to study Product Design and Manufacture at the University of Nottingham due to my love of prototyping and getting hands on with the design process with testing, as well as the emphasis on manufacturability, which provides the satisfaction of finishing a project and knowing the design that was produced is able to be manufactured and used in the real world. Since coming to university, I have also developed a passion for rendering with my main software learnt so far being Keyshot, I have completed a Will Gibbons course in Keyshot to further my skills, and have started to learn new software including Lumion.
I am looking for a graduate position that could offer me the chance of being involved in all stages of the product design process, or one that focuses more on rendering.
