BA (Hons) Product Design

Everything can be improved in some way to suit the current environment, materials, construction, shape, and function alter with time. Looking at various things in life, I often see possible ideas for these improvements and analyse their current design as I have always taken a keen interest in the way things are constructed, especially things which involve mechanisms. Therefore, I have found Art and design practice fascinating as it allows me to be creative, self-motivated and hardworking to transform images in my mind into something tangible. The ability to convert imagination into reality intrigues me. However, the hunger of expressing my creativity wasn’t through imagination, yet I greatly enjoy the aspect of problem-solving, engaging researches to come up with innovated solutions producing desirable and appealing products ready for market. I have learnt to expand my skills and built strong knowledge within product design area for the past five years and demonstrated technical and practical skills including 3D Printing, CNC, Digital Modelling on Cinema 4D, Solid Edge and Solid Work. Therefore, I would not only be able to put my skills to good use but to learn and progress personally in the Art and Design industry.


Gall popeth gael ei wella yn rhyw ffordd i gael bod yn addas ar gyfer yr amgylchedd cyfredol gan fod deunyddiau, adeiladu, siapiau a swyddogaeth yn newid gydag amser. Wrth edrych ar wahanol bethau mewn bywyd, byddaf yn aml yn gweld syniadau posib ar gyfer y gwelliannau hyn ac yn dadansoddi eu dyluniadau cyfredol gan fod diddordeb mawr gen i erioed yn y ffordd y mae pethau wedi’u hadeiladu, yn enwedig pethau â mecanweithiau. Felly, mae ymarfer Celf a Dylunio wedi mynd â’m bryd gan ei fod yn fy ngalluogi i fod yn greadigol, yn hunan-ysgogol ac yn weithgar, i drawsnewid delweddau yn fy meddwl yn bethau mwy pendant. Mae’r gallu i droi’r dychymyg yn realaeth yn fy niddori’n fawr. Ond nid drwy’r dychymyg roedd y chwant mawr i gael mynegi fy nghreadigrwydd, er fy mod yn mwynhau’n fawr yr elfen ddatrys problemau, ennyn ymchwilwyr i gael hyd i atebion newydd a fydd yn cynhyrchu cynhyrchion dymunol a deniadol yn barod ar gyfer y farchnad. Rwyf wedi dysgu i ehangu fy sgiliau a magu gwybodaeth gadarn ym maes dylunio cynhyrchion dros y pum mlynedd ddiwethaf ac wedi dangos sgiliau technegol ac ymarferol, gan gynnwys Argraffu 3D, CNC, Modelu Digidol ar Cinema 4D, Solid Edge a Solid Work. Felly, byddwn yn gallu nid yn unig wneud defnydd da o’m sgiliau ond hefyd byddwn yn gallu dysgu a datblygu yn bersonol yn y diwydiant Celf a Dylunio.
