Selected applicant for a Summer Design School hosted by the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. The proposition for the school was to create an online digital archive responding to current affairs and politics at that time. I took part in critical thinking reading groups questioning bias of opinion, our interaction with the internet and how social media forms bias, and the importance of asking questions. Then, created animated assets for the website launched during the residency.

It was a pleasure working with Julie to create a strong visual identity which communicates the core ideas and ethos behind her professional communications training programmes and workshops.

Camberwell taught me to think critically about my own work and the work of others. The course was shaped around the development of a cohesive visual language and a sense of aesthetic detail. I was awarded a 1st for my dissertation. During the course of my degree I was actively involved in many extra- curricular activities in connection with the organisation of undergraduate shows including: – Producing the website and online marketing for end of second year show at Mother London (2012). – Planning of ‘Well Said’, our 2013 external graduate degree show for 50 people’s work at The Rag Factory in Shoreditch. – Treasurer for ‘Well Said’. – Part of a small close-knit team that raised all the funds required for the graduate show over a period of two years by creating and organising our own events.

Two year course in place of three A levels, Triple Distinction grade (equivalent to three A grade A levels). This course is an accepted foundation qualification.
