Whilst at school I had the opportunity to work in a small in-house graphic design studio for work experience. It was then that I decided that’s the career path I wanted to follow. The lead designer from my work experience studied at the College and recommend that I look at the courses.

The best thing about the course is the versatility. One week you’re working with brand identity, and the next week you’re working with illustration. It gives you a crucial chance to figure out what you’re good at and what you’re great at.

Currently I am working as an in-house visual expert at Electrocomponents. Working with graphic design, photography and video. Our office is right next to Google/YouTube, Havas, LVMH, Universal Music, it’s a real hub for innovation. Without the College I wouldn’t have had such an opportunity.
