As well as equipping me with the skills to tackle a design challenge from the beginning to the end of a project, Loughborough Design enabled me to grow my industry network during the Degree Show and New Designers Exhibition.

The course also enabled me to achieve personal accolades. I entered my university work into several competitions including the UX UK Awards and RSA Student Design Awards, where I was recognised by designers from Philips Design, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Toyota, 100% Design and Kenwood Limited.
