Oliver Poole

I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by nature in rural Berkshire, giving me an immense respect for my environment. In my short time on this planet, I have seen intense changes to our world and society, including the destruction of natural habitats and rampant consumerism, which continue to decline. Driven by these critical issues and my lifelong love for creating, I enrolled on (BA HONS)Sustainable Product Design at Falmouth University in 2021. After enjoying 3 years living by the sea, I am now figuring out the next step in my life, be it staying in Falmouth or moving elsewhere to engage a new chapter. My favourite element of design is 100% making. For me, nothing compares to being in the workshop and figuring issues out first-hand. You'll be able to see this through the projects in my portfolio! I've always been inspired by woodworking and would like to progress my skills as a product designer through this. Being able to continue my work as a designer/maker would be my dream, and I am currently looking for work within this sector.
