About me
A small introduction about myself
Cameron Turk
Junior Product Designer
Design is an area I have always been interested in so choosing to study it at University was an easy decision. Learning how to work with new materials and exploring new ideas has always appealed to my inquisitive mind allowing me to express myself creatively.
Appreciating the importance of design in society, and understanding the ability it has to change the way people live their lives and make every day decisions, by exploring both modern and traditional ideas, whilst taking into account environmental factors, is a liberating way to make something inspiring and resourceful.
As a result of my work experience I have gained an understanding of how both large and small businesses are run and how to work effectively as part of a team or on my own under pressure working to deadlines and budgets and communicating with different levels of people.
Key attributes I have developed are creative thinking, problem solving, excellent verbal and written communication as well as time management and presentation skills.
