My specialism for the duration of my course has been Automotive Design. I am now looking for the next step by finding an intern/graduate position post-university. I am proficient in the initial 2D to 3D sketch translation phases with the aid of programmes such as Photoshop, Blender and Alias.

I am passionate about exploring the design challenges we will encounter in the future and pushing boundaries to solve problems such as sustainability and rising sea levels. These issues, combined with my work experience for a charity that investigated emergency response (Save the Children), have heavily influenced my project.

My Final Major Project is a search and rescue vehicle for 2030 with the key principle of adaptability, due to the harsh environment it will be exposed to.

Modular components are used throughout the design to suit different scenarios. The vehicle uses robotic arms instead of traditional suspension, to allow a flexible cabin that enhances visibility, controlled with unconventional steering angles. In the interior AR, a focal point displays data to operators to aid decisions made on the ground.
