Industrial Design, 2021

I am an Industrial Designer from the University of Canberra, currently located in Canberra. Passionate in traditional furniture design, emerging technology and sporting goods; with experience in all 3 fields as both a user and a designer, giving me a unique perspective and outlook on design.

As a young designer, the ability to create a product from a simple idea is what peaked my interest into the design world. Now, this is complemented by the thought process that allows for an aesthetically pleasing solution and good design to be merged.

I believe that design should not only be aesthetically pleasing but affordable and accessible. As designers we not only create solution to solve a problem but to positively improve users lives.

I'm looking for a job.
