2023 Graduate Product Designer based in Scotland, UK.
Matt Blevins
I am a graduate Product Designer from DJCAD, University of Dundee. Having recently completed my degree with a 1st Class Honour’s, I am keen to take my next steps into the world of design.
With an interest for problem solving and innovative design, I enjoys exploring new ways to solve challenges using design research and critical thinking..
Introduction
Based in Edinburgh, UK
Currently based out of Edinburgh, Scotland - I am currently working in the field of outdoor and mountaineering equipment. I am open to broadening my horizons, and therefore do not see myself as being locked in on one location. I hope to seek future opportunities around the world.
Having recently finished my Honours degree, I spent my final year investigating how functional comfort could be achieved in transport and travel environments through innovative backpack design. My final works were later displayed in the DJCAD Undergraduate Degree Show and recieved very enthusiastic feedback from visitors and viewers.

Interests
I have a wide range of interests and enjoy exploring all areas of design. With a keen eye for problem solving, I like to come up with new solutions for common challenges. I am always keen to take opportunities to explore and further develop my design skills. After working in outdoor activity retail, I have found this sector to be particularly interesting for design.
Similarly, my interests outside of design involve a variety of outdoor activities, travel and curiosity.
