About edyn mckirdy:

ndustrial Design Student | Passionate Creator | Aspiring Design Innovator

Hello! I’m Edyn McKirdy, currently in my third year of Industrial Design at Carleton University, where I've consistently made the Dean’s Honor List and maintained a high academic standing. Before pursuing design, I completed a Certificate of Science at Concordia University, grounding my design skills with a strong analytical base. 

My design journey is fueled by a passion for blending aesthetics with functionality. With proficiency in 3D modeling, Adobe Creative Suite, and hands-on model making, I thrive in environments that challenge my creativity and problem-solving skills. My experience as a Project Manager Assistant and CSR/PMO Administrator at Innotech-Execaire Aviation refined my ability to manage complex projects and streamline operational processes, ensuring efficiency and precision.

I'm fluent in both English and French, enabling effective communication across diverse teams. I've applied my skills in various design projects, from aviation to studio art pieces, demonstrating versatility and a commitment to innovative design solutions.

I'm actively seeking opportunities for a summer internship in design, where I can contribute to and learn from a dynamic team. 

Experience

I have diverse work experience spanning various roles and industries. At Innotech, I worked as a Design Intern, where I assisted in developing and executing design projects using Adobe Suites, SolidWorks, Blender, and Shaper3D. I collaborated with senior designers on concept sketches, definitive designs, and 3D renders, contributing to innovative product development initiatives through thorough research and practical application. My six-year tenure at Montessori Daycare as an Assistant Teacher involved providing care and educational support for children aged 7 months to 6 years old. I designed and implemented engaging activities to promote early childhood development, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. My experience also includes extensive babysitting for children up to 12 years old, and I hold a CPR certification to enhance the safety and well-being of the children under my care. Additionally, I worked as a Customer Service Associate at Walmart, where I assisted customers with inquiries and transactions, managed inventory, and organized merchandise. This role honed my communication and problem-solving skills through daily interactions with customers and team members while handling cash transactions and maintaining accurate financial records.

Education

I am currently in my third year of pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design at Carleton University. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in design principles and methodologies, including model making, sketching, rendering, and 3D modeling. I have developed proficiency in industry-standard software such as Adobe Suites, SolidWorks, Blender, and Shaper3D. As part of Carleton's cooperative education (co-op) program, I have gained valuable practical experience and industry insights. My coursework and projects have equipped me with the skills necessary to innovate and contribute effectively to dynamic design environments.
