CAREER OBJECTIVE
Having excelled in design academically, since graduating I have spent the past 6 months in architectural practice where I have developed knowledge of design in this specific field. I am now eager to explore alternate creative avenues, and move into a role which allows me to utilize and develop my skills and passion for design. My objective is to build a career in a company focused on design innovation, which puts original ideas and multidisciplinary projects into practice, and has an engaging, challenging and supportive work environment, where I can contribute and obtain knowledge at a professional level.

PROFILE
I am an analytical thinker with academic training and the capacity to absorb information, develop imaginative solutions and communicate design strategies clearly. My positive working attitude leads to a well organized, focused and systematic approach to solving problems. Further, my hardworking nature, self-motivation and ability to draw upon previous experiences will always push me to work to the highest standard and enable me to evolve as a designer. These attributes together with a natural attention to detail and passion for originality has helped me to form a unique yet comprehensive design methodology.
