About meI am a recent graduate seeking

to start a career within the design industry. I am seeking a consultan-cy where common sense, a sense of humour and a “can do” attitude is appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying Product Design at University, and look forward to making the transi-tion from an educational stance to gaining hands on experience of the working realities of a commercial brief.

I currently live in London, but would be willing to relocate if the right opportunity was presented.

Academic QualificationsProduct Design BA (Hons) (2:1)Leeds Metropolitan University The course specialised on de-

signing and developing bespoke concept solutions, often for live cli-ents from the initial concept right the way through to development for industry production.

Marketing and advertisement con-

siderations were taken into account throughout all development stages.

Concept visualisations were pro-duced using computer aided design programs such as 3Ds Studio Max, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. A major part of the course involved conducting primary user testing, analysing the data and incorporat-ing the findings within the devel-oped solution.

Employment HistoryBeyond StockAccount Executive

In between University summers I worked as an Account Executive for an EPOS company in Putney. The role entailed independently ac-quiring leads, client handling and conducting contract negotiations

Frequently I was tasked to con-duct client presentations, attend trade shows and client premises for contract negotiations and software demonstrations.

I often assist the Support team with administrative duties when required, and assist the manage-ment of the Internal CRM to en-sure ongoing cases were tracked and client projects were resolved.

I enjoyed the fast paced nature of the role and the freedom permitted from the Managing Director when negotiating with clients.

Afghanistan3rd Battalion The Rifles

I served with the 3rd Battalion The Rifles, in Afghanistan on a seven month operational tour of Afghani-stan. I spent my tour in a Forward Operating Base in Helmand prov-ince, as an infantry soldier.

My role was to clear safe paths for my platoon by locating con-cealed Improvised Explosive De-vices (IEDs). My experiences in Afghanistan have taught me how to manage stressful situations, and work productively within extreme working constraints.
