Biography

I graduated Transport Design with a 1st degree honours from Coventry University in Summer 2010. My first role was with Concept Group International who were also based in Coventry and in Spring 2011 I set up Firebird Design ltd.

When I began my 4 year course in higher education I was intending to become a designer but the capabilities and end results of the Autodesk Alias software got me hooked on 3D modelling. Since then my skills have grown and I have found my place within the Automotive Industry.
