About
Testimonial
“Harry worked on a variety of projects during his time at Makino. Harry is an excellent hand sketcher – quickly producing high quality visuals of design concepts. He’s proficient in SolidWorks and Keyshot, producing 3D models and photorealistic CG images to communicate ideas to engineers. Harry was knowledgeable in using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop – he produced professional graphics and layouts alongside his industrial design work. He was hard working and had a desire to learn new skills.
Harry’s a creative and passionate designer who brought great energy to the work environment. He had high attention to detail and was a team player who had a good working relationship with all his co-workers. While living in Tokyo, Harry learned basic Japanese which was highly appreciated by his Japanese colleagues.”
