How I got to where I am now

I have had many roles over the years, but not with many organisations, but all in the digital product design sector

I have moved from being a junior designer through to mentoring junior, mid and senior designer - and now I am mentoring organisations in understanding why ‘good’ design is important and how to do it

My big tip...

Consider what it is that you want to do, this can be daunting but you need to take a leap of faith and trust your gut. Then find somewhere (university) or someone that can help you understand that area better. Start your journey from the place that gives you the most choices not the easiest.
