     - London, United Kingdom
    I spent the first 2 years mainly answering briefs which were set by professional practitioners and tackling live projects with actual clients. Lots of idea generation, brainstorming and group projects working with other designers. My final year was a chance to work on projects involving my interests at the time and to learn new software. I art directed my final project, arranged filming and photoshoots of dancers, editing and animating for the final degree show.
