As a recent graduate, I am a dedicated and imaginative individual with a deep interest in design. Throughout my academic journey, I have honed my creativity skills by participating in numerous design projects. I am adept at taking initial concepts and refining them through an iterative process to bring them to fruition. Currently, I am looking to expand my expertise by pursuing a design and production position that will allow me to further enhance my skillset.

As a recent graduate in Product and Furniture Design, I possess a strong foundation in design principles and practices, honed through academic projects and coursework. While my studies provided me with valuable theoretical knowledge, I missed out on a placement year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to a professional setting, and I am confident in my ability to make meaningful contributions to design projects. I am a creative problem-solver, adept at identifying user needs and developing innovative solutions that meet their requirements.

I attended the University of Ulster Belfast from 2019 to 2022, where I obtained a BA (Hons) degree in Product and Furniture Design. I am proud to have achieved a 2:1 in my degree, which is a testament to my strong interest in the modules studied. Throughout these modules, I had the opportunity to develop both independent and team working skills through various individual and group tasks. Before that, I completed my secondary education at St Colman's College Newry from 2014 to 2019. During my time there, I obtained nine GCSEs A*-C grades and received the award for Joint First in Northern Ireland for achieving an A* in Art and Design. Additionally, I completed A-levels in Art and Design (A*), Design and Technology (B), and Religious Studies (B).
