William experienced the joys of Cambridge International Examinations and completed A Levels in Painting, Mathematics and Design. He made a definite decision to study the arts . William always wanted to have a career in design. His grandmother was a painter and this inspired an interest in drawing. It was always a personal fascination. At Senior College he was able to spend two thirds of his time studying design and painting. In truth, he says “I could do what I enjoyed”. At school he realised which aspects he was good at and the experience gave him the push to realise he could make a career out of design.
William has completed a Bachelor of Design majoring in industrial design. This involved the design of a range of products and furniture - anything to do with human interaction. He is proud to gain a First Class Honours Degree from Massey.

He had worked for Photo Warehouse during his study and went back to work for them. In his final year, he started a small freelance design company. Recently, William won his first actual job working for Altitude Aerospace Interiors who design commercial and VIP aircrafts. This is a very exciting opportunity and he hopes that during the initial three month contract he will make himself indispensable.

William believes mid-level design is a good field to be in as there are more opportunities available. He hopes to head overseas some time and, with his qualifications, go to work for a firm like Phillips designing home entertainment.
