Work Experience
Work experience at Hug, a London graphic design firm provided me with insight and interest in working in the graphic design industry. The responsibility to create advertising posters for numerous pharmaceutical companies enhanced my skill in working both independently and collaboratively.
I was a member of Loughborough Lamplight Newspaper, a small group of students who create books and newspapers for the Loughborough students, giving me experience working with a group.
