Alex Cotterill-Drew

With a long running interest in design, and a deep interest in 'how things work', I have always seen myself as a product designer. My idols would have to be Jonathon Ive and Shiro Nakamura. I began studying the subject at GCSE, obtaining an A followed up with an A Level in the subject. I studied at The University of Derby between 2007 and 2011. I graduated with a 2:1 BA In Product Design. I exhibited at the New Designers Show In London In the Summer of 2011. My Previous employment included 3 years at one of the UK's Largest bookmakers, William Hill, as a Manager, and also managing a busy Cantonese Takeaway. I also regularly repair, upgrade and build computers, repair mobile phones and other products, so i have a good knowledge of the internal working of electronic devices and also software and user interfaces. I love to travel and look forward to liaising with people in various countries to obtain information and services to create quality products. I am currently in Full Time employment in a design consultancy, and have already gained 25 months experience. I am in training to become a CNC machining strategist, so that i have the ability to speed up the process of design and deliver fully complete products to clients. My previous clients include: Bosch Hyundai Colibri Andrew Marc Maitre Du Temps Gronefeld Manjaz
