Freddy Jack Whitten
I am currently a Senior Design Engineer at Dyson, plus a freelance web designer with a strong passion for solving problems and crafting user experiences.
About Me
Given a device, most people know how to operate it. Some may understand how that device works but only a few want to use that understanding to make that device work better, easier, longer, with less environmental impact…. the list goes on.
That’s me. I have always been curious and creative, so Design Engineering is in my DNA. That hunger for knowledge has been fed through school and university, with side portions of self tuition, and hours upon hours of hard work. Numerous awards have been the icing on the cake, but nothing satisfies like a completed project well done.
