Special Interests

My three year professional design course developed my natural interest in design and how things work and has helped me to develop ideas and bring them to a conclusion.

I have a keen interest in digital photography and cooking, enjoy all sports particularly football, surfing and bike riding. I love to travel and experience different cultures.
