About me

Hi,

My name is Darren Pendred. I have a great deal of experience in design. I studied graphic design at GCSE, went on to study product design at A-level and I am a graduate of Bournemouth University where I studied Product Design for 4 years including an industrial placement at Kesslers international (a multi award winning company who design Point of Sale units). I worked in Quality Assurance at Kesslers.

I worked as an account manager at Computacenter for over a year and have gained a great deal of valuable sales experience during a successful period with the company. I have completed many accreditations during my training and career, such as becoming a Microsoft Gold Licensing expert and I have also completed HP sales training. I recently began a Symantec programme which was providing me with the skills to be a Symantec sales specialist.

I believe I have a lot to offer. I am a very creative person who has always had a keen interest in design. My Product design degree taught me many skills. We used programmes such as AutoCAD, Solidworks, Ideas, Dreamweaver, Photoworks and Photoshop among others. I was taught to use many workshop tools and machines and in my final year I was required to design an original product with suitable technical challenges and also create a fully functional working prototype. I have experience in using HTML and can use both P.C and Mac.

Kind Regards,

Darren Pendred
