During the course, we were pushed to think about the areas we were strongest in and work to specialise in them. The course also helped me think more strategically and design for a commercial purpose whilst ensuring every design decision was backed up by research.
During the course, I also had the opportunity to help six art galleries with a rebrand. Each gallery had a slightly different look and feel so I had to make sure my designs were in keeping. The galleries were thrilled with the design. Not only did it help to build my portfolio, but it also gave me experience in working in the UK market which employers often look for.
Since graduating, I began working for Audacious, a church group with six locations across the UK and Europe. I helped them with their rebrand and created designs for their services and conferences. Later, I got a job as a graphic designer for the international advertising agency McCann, which has offices in 120 countries worldwide. Our clients include Audi, Aldi, Matalan, Kayak and many other household names.
