About me

Welcome, I’m Freya. I am a product designer by education. In industry I have mostly worked around CAD design for manufacturing, which requires interpreting, producing & manufacturing from technical drawings. Vocationally I enjoy playing with clay, exploring traditional methods & how ceramics can intersect with digital fabrication through, for example, 3d printing slip moulds

My background

My home is the small country-side town of Silverstone, Towcester, located at the centre of the English midlands. This peaceful town descends into chaos once a year when it becomes host to the British Grand Prix. I spent 4 years at Nottingham Trent University studying for a BSc in Product Design, working to develop foundational skills, whilst exploring ideas, big or small, across the full spectrum of the design process.

Industry

By utilise my core skills, I have been able to transition seamlessly between sectors, (manufacturing, aerospace, architectural engineering & bespoke joinery). This has left me confident in applying design processes into new environments, software’s & industries. Crucially I have used these opportunity’s to identify & close gaps in my knowledge base, whilst adapting my skills to new parameters.

Tool Control & Aerospace - CAD design, CNC programming & manufacturing

Architectural Environmental Testing - Graphics, model making, air-tapping & wind tunnel assembly
