If I Knew Then What I Know (Advice to students)

If I knew then what I know now…

the ability to draw, model and think is sooooooo much more important than you can ever imagine.

Please don’t think CAD is the be all and end all - its not!

learn to draw as you talk

pitch your work in your own way

create a cv to be proud of

get to know what design agencies are doing what

pay a keen interest in how things are made - it helps!

design job interviews do not require you to wear a suit

Train to become super analytical, always question everything - twice!!

design is a passion - if your not passionate please don’t take the college place of someone that is

seeing your work in the highstreet really is a fantastic feeling
