Working 1, John Janssen.jpg

I am a carpenter, artist and product design engineer looking for work in creative fabrication and décor, be that festival or film sets, sculpture or interior design.  Experienced in both on-site and workshop builds, I am comfortable either as a manager or as part of a team. Due to my engineering background, a strong eye for detail and an intuitive sense of what fits well together, I can quickly visualize how structures should go up and be supported, as well as where and how weaknesses may occur.

 

I am especially keen to work at heights either climbing structures or using a cherry picker to get up there.

 

Location-wise, I am very flexible and happy to move around for work, and have access to accommodation and workshops in London, Oxford, Hannover and Cape Town.

Education

​

University Of Nottingham, September 2011-2014

​

Product Design and Manufacture, BEng 2:1

​

A very immersive three-year course with non-stop design projects, this course allowed me to progress rapidly with my user research and design development skills, whilst simultaneously refine my sketching and use of CAD. At the end of each project, we presented our final designs to a tutor panel and our peers, allowing me to develop excellent presentation skills. This experience has since enabled me to present confidently and successfully to clients.
