About Nathan Stephenson
A first year Civil Engineering student at the University of Bristol with a keen interest in design, technology and innovation.

In 2014 I won an Arkwright engineering scholarship, through sponsorship, this allowed me to pursue my interests, in design, further while I was a pupil at secondary school. Since then i have been buliding up a portfolio of product designs I have been developing.
Since starting university i have been able to expand my horizons, with regard to design and aesthetics.
