Looking forward to the Degree Show in June, I’m excited to have the public look at and discuss my work, just as I am excited to see everyone else's! It’s a great way to end my University career and celebrate how far I’ve come as a designer over the past four years. While there is a fair amount of stress leading up to the show, I know I will be proud of myself for putting in the work.
After the Degree Show and graduation, I want to take a step back and evaluate my goals and start a career that makes me happy. It’s been a busy year. Alongside my degree, I was the Co-Head of Fashion for the Loughborough Student Charity Fashion Show in February, and I was busily involved with lacrosse. Making the most out of my final year essentially!
To anyone who is thinking about studying a creative subject, my advice is: don’t be afraid to change your ideas. In fact, I’d say never settle on your first idea. The more you talk to friends, family and tutors the more your mind and creativity can expand. Your concepts and your designs can become far more fascinating than you imagined.
Also, pay attention to media and politics. Use your project as a chance to teach yourself something new about the wider world and new ideas.
