Technical Skills References Personal Profile Solidworks Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Rhinoceros Windows Movie Maker Microsoft Publisher Workshop Modelling I am originally from Bearsden in Glasgow where I lived until I was 18 before moving to Edinburgh to study at Edinburgh Napier University. I come from a family that strongly believes that you should enjoy what you do in life, but whatever you enjoy doing you should work hard at it. Over my life I feel that I have a stuck very close to these ideals, Outside of education I participated in many activities. The main example being swimming in which I competed at a high level for 12 years. This taught me much about commitment and pushing myself and this reflects greatly in my mindset now. I have also spent many years working as a lifeguard and swimming instructor which has further taught me the importance teamwork and communication while improving my ability to work under pressure. In early 2015 I took part in an exchange program to Zhengzhou in China for just over 4 months, this educated greatly about different cultures and environments. The whole experience vastly improved my design knowledge as well as improving my design process. As a result of travelling and living in China it provided my with an insight into the design market and what people want and need in their products. With China being one of the main countries and economies with many design jobs and design opportunities, my experience puts me ahead of most others. After graduating university in 2016 I secured a internship place at matrix design located in shenzhen, china. Matrix design is a company focused the innovation and production on electronic products, in working here over the course of 3 months it taught me a whole new range of skills sets. From the use of new software and their design process and ethos to learning how to work more efficiently when being very much out of my comfort zone. The overall experience I gained from working in china is something that I will never forget and I fell it has added overwhelmingly to the quality of my design and myself as a person Ian Lambert Associate Professor Head of Art, Design & Communication School of Arts & Creative Industries e-mail: i.lambert@napier.ac.uk tel: 0131 455 2476 Richard Firth Head of Product Design School of Arts & Creative Industries e-mail: r.firth@napier.ac.uk Dr Samantha Vettese Forster Reader in Design tel: 0131 455 2259 e-mail: s.forster@napier.ac.uk
