      Graphic Design

      Activities and Societies: ICAD Member. Upstarts Exhibition Creative Team Member. Upstart candidates are selected through successful delivery and execution of a competition brief. This was a fantastic opportunity to gain some insight and experience of the graphic design industry. As one of the six in the design category I took on six briefs from different design studios and presented a new project each week. At the end of the program we held an exhibition in the Gallery of Photography during Design Week.
