High End Furniture Design

For 6 Months I worked at Jake Phipps Ltd. in Richmond, North Yorkshire. As an intern I was involved in every stage of the design process of high-end furniture - from concept to manufacture.

This placement made me comfortable with communicating with manufacturers and clients. Much of my time was spent testing the limits of various resins and pigments. I also learnt to translate sketches into final renders using Rhino, Grasshopper, Mudbox, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier Pro and Keyshot. For some of these I created scale models and prototypes. I also used CAD software to create technical drawings to send to manufacturers and clients.
