Even since childhood, I knew I wanted to do something involving cars, and have spent the majority of high school and university trying to decide in what way. Through projects such as QUT Motorsport, Team Arrow, and the ‘Can Am’ that really showed my interest and skill in designing vehicles and components in CAD. I feel this combines my love of hands-on projects, technical skills and creating new designs.

The biggest milestone of my career so far is graduating from university and obtaining a Batchelor of Honours in Industrial Design, showing that I have enough knowledge to start working in this industry. Another is becoming a consultant, and designing on behalf of clients, and having brief experience to running my own business.

Other milestones of note include a six month internship in Munich with BMW, completing two short courses in composite materials and a four month internship at the Arc Hardware Incubator. I also found these experiences useful as it taught me about the workplace culture in a startup and in a multinational company, and how to create components using fibreglass and carbon fibre.
