Professional Info
 

I am a graduate from the University For The Creative Arts in Canterbury studying Interior Architecture and Design with 3 months experience in Kitchen and Bathroom design. I am a highly motivated and professional Designer. Capable of delivering at the highest level, I have first-rate organisational skills and the ability to produce a consistently high standard of work. With excellent interpersonal skills, I am an effective team player and am capable of engaging and liaising with a broad range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds. I am committed to facing fresh challenges and to pursuing my future career goals. a friendly, polite, formal, and reliable person. Willing to take part in any task given to me and always work to the best of my abilities and getting involved. In the past I was working for Chilfen Joinery Ltd as a CAD Technician, though my daily responsibilities would be more than a CAD Technician. I am currently working at Unispace as a Designer - Technical Specialist where I will start my career.

Interests
 

I am interested in many different designs mainly focus on Architecture and Interior Architecture. I am able to 2D draft in Auto-CAD and 3D Design in Revit and Maya. I love to be able to see the space I am designing visualized on a 3D environment and rendered to a photorealistic image or close to it. I also love making models and am able to use a laser cuter to draft up prototypes of the space/building I am designing with the help of using Auto-CAD. During my free time I go to Design Exhibitions around the country.
