6th December 2011 ***** MA graduate looking for creative challenges *****

Looking to hire someone analytical, who is also able to see the big picture? Someone who understands the social power of design? Someone articulate, able to interpret ideas into clear, concise writing that anybody can understand?

I'm about to graduate from a Master's degree at the Royal College of Art in History of Design. I've spent the past eighteen months researching the stories of great designs, asking the important questions which drive success. I'm currently writing a thesis on the history of Japanese video game worlds, giving me a unique insight into digital design in the networked age. I'm now looking for full time, paid work, to begin in May 2012. I can also start any part-time position immediately. I hope to work in design studios or consultancies, and I'm keen to work as part of a team of highly talented problem solvers.

If you're looking for a way to really add value to your team and gain an edge during difficult times, you need someone who is able to think analytically, who will clearly articulate the ideas of a team, to keep development on track and to draw up exciting proposals that are a joy to read. As well as the impeccable research and writing skills I have developed as part of my studies, I also know basic Java, HTML and LaTeX, and I can work with Arduino boards. I speak Japanese and English fluently, and I have basic to intermediate level Spanish, French and Modern Hebrew. To learn more about my skills, experience and interests, head over to my website:

17th June 2010 I have recently finished my final year in Southampton Solent University, studying a BA (Hons) Interior Design (Decoration) and will be graduating later this year. I am looking to start working within the industry as soon as possible, and am eager to work with a professional interior design company. Although I have not had recent experience within interior design retail, I do have two years experience in a job role prior to my degree that enabled me to work with design and promotion. The experience I have within previous job roles, I have adapted to and enjoyed, this shows I am confident about learning new skills to fit in better with the work environment. I can draw and render to a high standard, including three-dimensional elevations and scale drawings. I am also intermediate (expert in some areas) in Vector Works, Photoshop and other appropriate Interior Design IT programs.  

To join an experienced team of staff within a company would be an excellent opportunity for me and I would not only be extremely grateful, but also feel I could bring a sense of creativity and innovative design to any business. 

Any queries regarding this notification can be answered through my email emilyjane05@live.co.uk, alternatively I can be contacted on 07827 816 612.

27th April 2010 JHP have an opportunity in China that we require assistance with from London.  

We require someone who is based in London and who is fluent in Cantonese or Mandarin. English of-course too. Most likely this person is a student who is studying a design degree. An understanding of the design sector is important, however we will educate the person on the specifics of the project and regarding JHP’s methodology and approach.  

Essentially the person is to loosely perform the role of ‘Account Manager’.  

They will be required to take and respond to the occasional call on their mobile from the client who is based in China, respond to emails, and relay this communication back to JHP in our studio in London. They may also get involved in translation of any key documents.  
This role is not based at JHP and can be handled in the person’s free time.

  It’s not a full-time role – but one which is very much responding to requests. It’s a potentially very interesting opportunity for a Chinese speaker based in London  

All enquiries stating your credentials to apply for such a role should be emailed to austin.m@jhp-design.co.uk

17th February 2010 I am a Industrial Design student from Loughborough University, half way through a 4 year design degree, I am currently lookinf for a placement for a 2010/2011 starting in the summer months. Some of my work to date can be found at: http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_details.asp?individual_id=308192&keywords=craig+thurston&c=1&

I was just wondering if your company would be interested in taking anyone on such a placement.  I am looking to attain a placement for the coming year to further develop my skills, I enjoy team work and feel that I can contribute to any team.  Personally I feel that my CAD skills have become strong and my ability to produce high quality renders is definitely one of my strongest areas, however I do still recognise that sketching is vital and is the area which I feel I get the best results and most enjoyment from.

I achieved a 2.1 in my first year, my personal design skills include sketching, Photoshop skills, making/modelling skills, user research, CAD (pro engineer with a good knowledge of surface modelling and CNC) and rendering packages such as alias image studio.
