About me

I have recently relocated to Malmö, Sweden in August to study Interaction Design, MA at Malmö Högskola. Interaction Design specialises in understanding and designing for the user, with a strong emphasis on working in a multidisciplinary team. Over the course I have developed in both my practical and methodological approach to design.

I graduated from Teesside University, Middlesbrough in 2011 with a 2:1 in Interior Architecture.

The course allowed me to not only play with the aesthetics of a space, but also how to design a space that is optimised for its intended use.

I've also undertaken a Certificate in German with the Open University, and am currently enrolled in a Swedish course at Malmö Högskola.

I also volunteered at a secondary school during the months May to July as a teaching assistant in the Art department. At the school I was given the opportunity to plan and teach a year 7 art class.

I am a friendly, confident hard worker with a strong ability to work comfortably as part of a team or as an individual, as i have had years of retail experience during my studies.I have had extensive training into high levels of customer service at all times in any retail environment; I feel this is something that would help me when working alongside Clients. I have also developed my creative eye over the years by designing the sales windows and merchandising for many stores.

Skills

The skills I developed on the BA Interior Architecture course have been very digital based and I know consider myself to have experience in both 3DS Max and AutoCAD. I am also capable of using Photoshop and InDesign, with some knowledge of Illustrator. I feel these complement my hand drawn sketching to create very interesting visuals.
