Alex Brinnen: 3D Design BA(Hons) graduate
One of the great things about the course was the freedom to play with materials, ideas and processes in the amazing facilities there.
Alex Brinnen is one half of Cornish skateboard company Faltown, a small business with global recognition and a roster of clients from America and Europe to Japan, Brazil, Iceland and Algeria. Faltown is currently in the running for a Cornwall Sustainability Award 2011 for their innovative 100% recycled ‘EcoCarve' skateboard, created in partnership with leading environmental pressure group Surfers Against Sewage.
Along with a thriving online presence and plans to further boost distribution Stateside, Faltown released its debut DVD The Art of Going Sideways to rave reviews in the skateboarding press.
"I loved my time doing 3D Design at Falmouth. One of the great things about the course was the freedom to play with materials, ideas and processes in the amazing facilities there. We did all the prototyping for our designs when we were at uni, and although we've constantly tweaked and evolved them over the years, we've based all our future designs on the information, research and design process we learnt at UCF."
