My Loop
About Me
I began the 5 year Bachelor of Engineering (Product Design Engineering) course at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne in 2005. This is where my involvement with product design and development began.
At the end of 2006 i travelled through Germany via a 5 week study tour exploring the Bauhaus movement and visiting iconic companies such as Braun and BMW.
In 2008 I received a full-time internship at product development consultancy CobaltNiche in Melbourne where i spent the year learning the ropes. This was a fantastic experience as it handed me a wide variety of design and engineering opportunities and responsibilities that improved my skills and boosted my confidence throughout the
year.
Despite its best efforts to destroy my spirits, this final year of university has proven to bring out some great projects that i am proud of, many of which are shown on this site. I hope to carry these lessons learnt and confidence gained through university, travel and industry experience into my professional career.
