Nick Gierus , Stevenage, United Kingdom

Since graduating, I have worked in a number of highly active and multi-disciplined studios. This period of time has also encompassed an extremely influential year at Goldsmiths College where I obtained my MA in Design Futures and gained a richer awareness of the cultural and practical significance of designed objects.

My studio experience has given me a valuable insight into professional practice in terms of teamwork, client liaison, and project management. The standards of quality and speed of output required in London are such, that I have also become accustomed to working on high-paced projects set to tight deadlines. I have consistently gained a reputation amongst my employers and colleagues as someone who is both very talented and tirelessly committed to the job at hand. My positivity, work ethic and innovativeness have ensured that I have quickly become an indispensable asset to the projects that I have been involved in.

My presentation skills are strong and diverse. I am able to communicate digitally, manually and verbally using a wide selection of media and software applications. I can apply these skills from initial concept through to final design. I believe that knowing what medium to use, and when, is a design imperative. Equally important to me is a keen sense of narrative in order to structure a coherent design proposition.

My employment, coupled with my time in university, has made me proficient in many disciplines which will make me an invaluable addition to most studios. I always welcome the opportunity to meet with people demonstrate the passion and commitment I can offer them.
