My name is Gleb Shvetsov & I am from Melbourne, Australia (born in Tomsk, Russia (former USSR)). I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design at Swinburne University of Technology at the end of 2014. I am very proud of this accomplishment, as design has always been one of my passion. To compliment Industrial Design, my co-major at Swinburne University was Interior Design. My reasoning behind choosing this pathway, aside from sharing an interest in architecture, is that by understanding architecture/interior design or interior spaces in general, I would better my understanding of product design intended for interior spaces.In the final semester of my course I had the opportunity to study a unit in Furniture design, which I found as an eye opening experience. To wrap up the course I reflected on all that I have learned & decided not to limit myself by scale or financial restrictions in past projects & try to push the boundaries of what I initially perceived was possible within the brief. The outcome was a distinct piece which has earned its place on the front page in my design folio. This design piece was also exhibited at the Fringe furniture festival 2016.I have always also had a great appreciation for the automotive industry, automotive design & automotive performance orientated fabrication. Being able to manipulate components as well as understand how parts work in conjunction with other mechanical systems is fascinating to me.Over the last few years I have also gained an interest in metal fabrication, from sheet metal to welding. I practice TIG welding (self taught), having completed a handful of projects, from automotive fabrication to furniture.Studying Industrial Design has been the most rewarding experience of my life & I believe this it is time for me to apply & utilize my abilities, skills & ideas to the design industry.Projects on my instagram: focus_on_innovation
