Profile

I have both a diploma in Architecture and a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design with first-class Honours. I have used the skills that I learned during these studies to create bespoke products, architectural features, as well as highly efficient jigs that can be used in industrial settings. I do this through a variety of processes, including hand-sketches, collaboration, meetings, prototyping, CAD design, and simulated analyses of the design. I also have leadership and management skills, having trained junior staff and managed design and fabrication departments.

Hobbies

I have been fortunate to have travelled throughout Europe, road-tripped with my BMX across the United States, cruised around Asia, ridden a motorbike around the Indian subcontinent, road-tripped the east coast of Australia in a self-converted camper van, hiked though Nepal and snow-boarded in New Zealand and Japan...all with my camera in hand. Now as a sensible adult, I am passionate about rock climbing.
