Solving problems in Solidworks has become a large part of my passion for the design process. I love how it feels to understand the program and to go back and restructure my model to make it more robust. Design sketching and graphics are aspects of the process that I particularly enjoy, and produce outside of my work and studies.
Inspirations for my design work and lifestyle are found everywhere. Recent projects involving ceramics have sparked an instant passion for the material, along with other unplugged products. Would love to learn how to throw pottery some day as I can't resist a piece of stoneware with character. A large passion of mine is coffee; after training to become a professional barista a good quality cup of coffee sets me up for the day perfectly.
Cricket fascinates me as its a sport that has more dimensions to it than any other. I thoroughly enjoy the sound of willow on leather and hate the amount of time I spend sitting in the pavilion after being dismissed. Improvement required. I have also combined my passions for cricket and woodworking by restoring cricket bats in my spare time as ION Cricket brand. Its so satisfying to know that every run someone scores with a bat that would have been thrown away is because of me.
