UK ID student successfully completes internship at PER
Louise Cochrane is a final year Product Design Engineering student studying at Strathclyde University. She’s just completed a successful 2 month internship as an industrial designer in our Beijing studio, and here’s what she said about it:
“This position gave me the opportunity to move to China for the two months of my internship. Speaking no Mandarin at the time, I took the brave decision to head out there on my own.
During my time at PER Design in Beijing, I was a valued member of the industrial design team, working on concept sketches, 3D modelling and the rendering of my designs. I was able to greatly improve my knowledge of SolidWorks and Photoshop especially.
My internship was invaluable in terms of giving me experience and insight into a real working environment, interacting with clients, colleagues and other departments of the company - such as engineering.
Living in China was an amazing experience, immersing myself in the culture and customs of the Chinese people.”
