Meet the Designers

I am Amel Khsouma, and I recently graduated from Coventry University with a major in Automotive and Transport Design.

I have a rich cultural background, with a heritage of both Tunisian and Italian descent. Prior to my studies in the UK, I pursued Nautical Science in Italy. I made the decision to come to the UK with the intention of accessing better educational opportunities and building a promising career in the field of Yacht design.

My passion and ambition are the driving forces behind my aspirations.

My name is Daniel Matejovic and I am an international student in the UK, coming from Slovakia.

I built my foundation in fine arts while attending art school at a young age. Once I enrolled for a BA in Automotive and Transport Design at Coventry, where I am currently finishing my master's studies as well, my passion for yacht design ignited during a family sailing trip in the Mediterranean.

I'm drawn to yacht designs' unique blend of engineering and artistic freedom it provides, escaping the constraints of land-based vehicles. I enjoy pushing boundaries and am looking forward to the challenge of this competition.

As a young designer, Josh is very interested in the prospect of participating in the yacht designing competition. Designing has always been close to his heart.

Beyond the thrill of competition, Josh is eager to showcase his talent, learn from professionals, and contribute to the industry of yacht design.

I am a recently graduated Automotive and Transport Design student from UWTSD Swansea College of Art.

Always being interested in the creative process, my passion resides with fast cars and impressive yachts, all in my strive for true bespoke design and innovation.

My degree has been a checkpoint in a journey I have been on since as early as I can remember. From Lego to CAD, developing my skills and chasing experiences. The Superyacht UK Young Designer Competition is the next challenge I'm looking forward to undertaking.

and exoticism.  She has enjoyed coming up with design concepts for superyachts as part of the selection process for the university.

The competition will be a great experience to help her to understand design concepts in the yachting industry, and to also build upon her sketching skills.

From the age of 12 Oscar has wanted to be a Yacht Designer.  He started a small sketch book while on a sailing holiday with his grandfather and since then has continued to enjoy sketching concepts and designs of all yacht types.

Pairing his love of design to his love of the water has seen him attend Solent University to study Yacht Design and Production.  Oscar thoroughly enjoys the process of designing a yacht and one day hopes to bring his own unique designs to the yacht market.

Archie Ritchie is a final year undergraduate studying Automotive and Transport Design at UWTSD, Swansea.

He has been around ships his whole life, as his Dad has been in the Royal Navy since he was little.  He didn’t initially have a strong interest in ships/yachts until he recently started a project for a 90-meter yacht on his design course.  Since beginning his project, he has come to the realisation it's something he is interested in pursuing.
