Taylor's BA Automotive and Transport Design Experience
What is your favourite thing about Swansea campus?
Down by the Swansea marina is a brilliant place to study and is really beautiful when the sun sets over the water. The campus facilities for my course are very close together and all easily accessible.
Why did you choose UWTSD?
My greatest influence in my design work was my A levels design teacher that came to UWTSD and studied on the same course.
What do you enjoy outside your studies?
I love doing sports and any exciting activity my friends come up with, we’ve climbed mountains, swam in the sea and done road trips across Wales.
What do you hope to do when you graduate?
When i graduate i hope to take my design work into the world of luxury travel design; whether its superyachts or one-off limousine designs I want to make a statement in the world of transport design.
I am currently taking on multiple projects, designing for the future generations and creating all new redesigns of forgotten cars of the past for competitions. My course and great lecturers have helped tweak my ability in presentation, skill and creativity and continue to do so as i learn the professional design processes.
What is your favourite thing about your course?
My favourite thing about my course is the constant excitement and passionate new thinking. With so many brilliant critical thinkers you find yourself thinking in new ways and learn alternate versions of problem solving.
Would you recommend UWTSD and why?
I would recommend UWTSD because of the incredible lecturers, splendid facilities and brilliant accessibility.
