Excellent learning curve
Product design has always fascinated me. The design of products have the ability to change the way people live, think and behave. This is almost like the saying “do not tell me what to do but rather show me. I design by Dieter Rams`s philosophy that forms follow function. I am an energetic designer who is eager to learn more about the design industry. I am a quick learner and believe that you can never know enough. . I am good team worker and team leader. Individual work is easy for me as I am self motivated person. I feel that my easy going personality assists me to get along with people.
Pros: Learned a lot about the design industry
Cons: No promotion opportunities
