Ava Penny

Product Design undergraduate with a strong interest in creativity, marketing, and understanding consumer needs. Through my degree, I have developed skills in research, communication, visual presentation, and creative problem-solving, alongside technical design skills. I particularly enjoy the marketing and advertising side of Product Design and how products can be positioned and communicated to different audiences.

I am keen to apply my creative and analytical skills within a marketing or brand-focused role.
