That being said, I availed of the opportunity to travel throughout Australia, discovering the world's oldest living culture in the heart of the red centre, to scuba diving amid one of the natural wonders of the world. On my return, determined and motivated, I enrolled onto a Product Design introduction course at Central Saint Martins, London. This course focused on research, idea generation and design thinking, development and presentation, reintroducing me to the creative process and helping me to build upon my design portfolio. I have since devoted my time to immersing myself in this field, through reading, practicing and attending meetups and events, such as SCI:COM Think Tank, while also leaning new design software's to include,- An Introduction to Creo Parametric modelling 4.0 I am now pursuing to return to an engaging position in Product Development, within a diverse and dynamic company, where I will have the opportunity to develop and grow, fully utilising my ambition, enquiring mind, skills and experience currently held, developing leading-edge products & services.

Through shadowing an experienced site manager, allowed for the perfect opportunity to work alongside and gain experience from the role of another individual, sharing his best practice and allowing for my self-development.I was exposed to the various constituents involved during the development phase of the wind farm site, such as, the initial planning phase, selecting most optimal site locations, while respecting the surrounding environment and habitats, legal requirements and location restrictions. While on site I witnessed the civil works to include, the access road layouts being routed, site drainage, preparation of turbine foundations, construction of the main site substation, the laying of transmission lines and the importance of safety, implementing site traffic management and carrying out daily risk assessments.I also observed the erection and installation of the five 3MW turbines by the global wind energy company, Vestus, appreciating the importance of planning such a large logistical operation.This opportunity undoubtedly enhanced my understanding and knowledge of a wind farm site installation. Through observing the work carried out by the various divisions, such as, civil contractors, electricity board, power team and Vestus, allowed me to appreciate the importance of communicating with one another and the diverse setbacks that can arise.
