Ultimately, I am eager to further develop both my creative and technical skills and work as a designer within a function-led fashion brand that combines technical innovation, aesthetics and functionality. 

My advice to anyone considering undertaking a placement is to prepare thoroughly for interviews, as this helps you confidently express your passion for the role and builds overall confidence. It is also important to invest time in developing your portfolio through seeking feedback and by continually refining your work to ensure it reflects your full potential.

Ani will graduate from Loughborough University in 2027.
