School of Creative Industries / Creative Futures / Student Case Studies 

I’m currently a freelance designer, specialising in user interface design for websites. I’ve always had an interest in all things digital, and I first started learning about web design and code when I was just a teenager. I decided to take the leap into freelancing after holding down roles in children’s publishing, and as a designer both in-house, and agency side.

The best thing about the course was the support and encouragement I received from peers and tutors alike. This was instrumental, there was always someone available to discuss my ideas with. A genuinely good bunch of people who I was constantly learning from.

University is such a unique experience that doesn’t compare to anything else in life, live that student life to the full before you’re launched into the world of work.
