\n\t\t\n\t\tDiscovering my love for digital design\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\tI graduated from the University of Bolton in 2016 with a first in Graphic Design. My degree was mostly print-focused, so I didn\u2019t know that much about digital design as a new graduate.

I worked in-house as a Junior Designer straight out of university, but I knew very early on that I was looking for an agency role. As a creative, I found it too restrictive and repetitive to just work with one brand.

I landed a role at a digital agency where I discovered my love of digital design, learning how to work with CRO and UX specialists, how to design a website and all kinds of digital marketing campaigns.

After several years there I was ready for the next step in my career and joined DEPT\u00ae in 2021.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
