What do you do at Cambridge Design Technology?
It is my job to best understand what the client has envisioned in their product and use my experience to add value to the their product no matter how big or small the idea is.
I like the client to feel that the service we have provided has exceeded their expectation and explored ideas that they wouldn’t have ordinarily considered.
What do you like about working at Cambridge Design Technology?
I enjoy the variety of projects and the challenges that come with them. Every project is different which enables you to gain new experiences and develop continually.
At CDT a problem is a chance for you to do your best, we take on every challenge with a positive hard working attitude.
What’s your background?
I grew up in a quiet village in North Suffolk. I come from a family with a long military history. At an early age I would help my dad and grandad work on military vehicles and strip and clean guns which sparked my interest for how things work.
Before CDT I graduated with a bachelors in Aviation Engineering from Brunel University London and worked on a design portfolio since.
