Graphic DESIGN

As a graphic designer, I specialize in creating visually impactful and brand-consistent marketing materials that effectively communicate key messages and drive engagement. With a strong foundation in design principles and a keen eye for detail, I consistently deliver high-quality work that meets project deadlines and exceeds client expectations. My experience in producing a wide range of marketing materials, from social media graphics and print advertisements to website designs and branded merchandise, has equipped me with the versatility to adapt to various project requirements and deliver exceptional results.

metal smithing

As a Metalsmith, I crafted  a functional and innovative tool for a specific application. My notable project was the development of a multifunctional dive knife designed for underwater scallop harvesting. This tool combined the functions of a traditional dive knife and a crowbar, providing divers with an efficient and safe way to pry scallops off their attachment points and open them. Its robust design, ergonomic handle, and razor-sharp blade ensured durability, comfort, and optimal performance. This project showcased my ability to combine technical skill with creative problem-solving to develop a product that addresses specific user needs and enhances underwater exploration. 

Material Development

As a materials researcher with a focus on sustainability. Through extensive investigation, I successfully developed a bio-resin coconut husk composite, a material with environmental benefits.
