Objective
Gaining and developing a strong appropriate level of analytical, visualisation and presentational skills, I have enabled myself to identify a structural approach to design. I like performing well individually and within a team at problem solving. I also have transferable skills, such as using my own initiative to complete a task, self-motivation, and good time management due to my course being very demanding at the highest level.
