Junior Graphic Designer.

What sort of work are you doing?

major clients is The Body Shop.

What sort of deadlines do you work to?
Anywhere from half a day and to a number of weeks depending on the scale of the job.

What do you love about Graphic Design?
I love the diversity, working with other designers who I can learn from, as well as giving and receiving creative feedback.

What do you find inspiring?
Inspiration can come from anywhere as design is so broad. I take inspiration from other creative fields like illustration, the natural environment, patterns. Anything at all, I don't need to look to far.

How has Shillington helped you gain employment?
Studying at Shillington was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I took a gamble to leave my job to study full time and it paid off. I was able to develop a new portfolio that was relevant to the industry and show my skills as a designer both creatively as well as my practical skills. I learnt so much in such a short time and found I had the confidence to talk about the design programs and the creative process with ease.
