I have always been in to drawing and making things and just getting very messy! Throughout school I focused on my art and I loved it. From taking art at school I followed it through to picking it at college where I was able to learn other techniques, such as developing photographs in the dark rooms, different ways of printing: lino, mono, and getting my hands stuck in to clay in the ceramics studio.
The one aspect that caught my attention the most was learning the Mac software. This is what made me want to go to university to study Graphic Design, the chance to be creative in a different way.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and because I had no gap year during my studies I have since graduating been on a world trip where have visited places such as Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, Fiji and America.
From this trip I have become more organised, confident and independent which i feel will help me find my feet within a company.
