Before I joined Loughborough for my postgraduate studies, I studied BA (Hons) Industrial Design and Technology, also at Loughborough University, for four years. I have been at Loughborough for a very long time!

Within my programme, I enjoy the sheer variability of modules and their industry connections the most. I have completed modules with Sainsbury’s and O2, to smaller social innovation projects with the local Loughborough community. I also enjoy the diversity of student backgrounds studying MA User Experience Design. We have students that have experience in design, psychology, and that have come from employment. This provides fresh perspectives and this, I believe, teaches me to learn to work well in cross-disciplinary groups, something widely implemented in industry.
