A dedicated 19 y/o product and jewellery design graduate, with 4 months work experience as an intern in the diamond, gemstone and jewellery industry. During the course of my academics, I was able to gain experience in exhibition, retail, customer service, health and community service, and animal welfare through participation in part-time jobs and volunteering alongside my studies.
My path into the design industry is driven by my desire to help people and my interest in functional aesthetics. Through my academics and professions, I have had the privilege to learn valuable professional and interpersonal skills such as communication, time management, and active creativity.
Needless to say, I am always on the lookout for new, challenging and exciting opportunities focused around the design community that values refinement which may benefit a person’s life.
