A great interview with alumna Gabrielle Smith is up on Design Week: What’s your best piece of advice for those wanting to follow in your footsteps? 1. Be prepared to take an unconventional route to get to your destination. You’ll come across situations in your journey as a creative that, on first look, seem as though they bear no correlation to what your dream job looks like – but it all adds to your experience as an aspiring creative. 2. Whether it’s a sketchbook, phone or a Post-it note, document what inspires you. 3. Create your own projects. If you’re just starting out you’ll need to have something to show to potential clients/employers. There are many more platforms around to help you display your work than before so use them to your advantage.
