Nicola Macklin is a 2009 graduate from the 3D Design (Industrial Design) program at Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia.
Nicola, Welcome to Design Droplets. Thank you for taking the time to talk, could you please give a quick introduction on yourself.
I am from Christchurch New Zealand and moved to WA in 2006. In 2007 I knew it was time to formalize my passion for design by earning a degree. I loved the lifestyle that Perth offered so it seemed the perfect place for me to reside while studying towards my degree in 3D design at Curtin University. Before undertaking my studies I had a broad employment background I spent a number of years working as make-up artist while designing and creating my own range of jewelery under the label ‘DOT’ which was stocked in fashion boutiques in Christchurch and Wellingtion NZ. Feeling unsatisfied in my work that totally focused on aesthetics I knew I needed a total change so began working in the mines in WA as a Field Assistant. This was an experience which opened my mind to a whole new world that was a total contrast to my life in NZ.
