Brunel

I am a BA Industrial Design and Technology graduate.

My major project was called mamatoto - a high dosage of caffiene can harm babies and is a great health risk. Mamatoto is an educational resource for first time mothers to be. It includes health tips, caffiene monioring sytems and growth of baby.

I gained a lot of skills from being at Brunel. The main one being time management. Work hard play hard.

Made in Brunel 2007

I was part of the graphics team, creating directory concepts and helping with the show.

Made in Brunel helped me in preparing for New Designers where I got my job at Vtech in Hong Kong. I was also fortunate enough to get a phone interview for Apple. Exhibiting meant that I got a lot of business contacts.

Work

My placement at Yell didn’t influence my career at all, but it did develop my graphic skills.

I’m now working at Vtech and intend to keep working hard to achieve results in product design.

Brunel grauates make things happen. We’re not just a pretty face, we have the good stuff inside. We don’t just design pretty products, we know how it works and have the skills develop this.
