Curriculum Vitae


Our newest task is to design our own Curriculum Vitae. I decided to explore that nature and properties of plywood as part of the CV. At first I was going to use polypropylene instead, however I felt plastics are very overused for laser-cutting and environmental unfriendly.

It was interesting to explore the flexibility and limits of this particular route. The outcome is a flat-pack CV that is sent and assembled by the potential employers. I feel this a appropriate as I wish to have my placements with production houses and furniture/product designers.

This is only my first attempt and the cut-out are still to be confirmed as I am still deciding on what pattern to be used. The envelope is sealed by a thread and can be opened with a pull of the string. I hope with this CV I will be able to showcase the various skills I process.
