2. HELLO
My name is Connor Devine, I’m a second year MDes
Product Design student at Coventry University.
Ever since I was a child I’ve been asking ‘why?’ and
‘how?’. How does that work and why is it done that
way? I love taking things apart and putting them
back together, I love to see how things work and I get
a kick from repairing stuff.
I’m excited by the possibilities that new materials
bring and I take a real interest in the impact that
design has on the environment, I’d love to work using
new and innovative materials for sustainable design.
I hope this portfolio is an informative overview of my
skills and interests, Thank You for taking the interest
and time out to look through.
