About me

Thank you for giving your time to read my profile.

My name is Winnie and I've recently graduated at Brunel University with a degree of Product Design BSc in 2:1. The course consists of many topics including design process, research & development, working with clients and manufacture. I wish to develop specialised skills in the areas of graphic design, product design and embedded systems.

I've developed many skills mainly lateral thinking, analytical and observation skills, prototype & testing and sketching. Every design project I've completed I have improved my communication skill including presentation and the ability to plan ahead while adapting into the unexpected changes in throughout the process.

Since graduated (23rd July 2012) I have managed to achieved three design patents with two high profiled clients and published two articles for a magazine based on my research project.

If you are interested with arranging a discussion about my application, then feel free to contact me which are enclosed from my CV and my profile. I am very looking forward to meeting you.
