Becs Bartells
I am a Designer currently living in Auckland. I graduated from Massey University in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design with Honours.
I have a keen interest in all areas of design! I'm constantly improving and developing my design skills and abilities; I believe you can never learn enough. My mission is to continue to grow and develop as a designer, using my skills in all areas, as a medium for inspiration and self expression.
