Jamie's Design: I was born in the South East but I have lived most of my formative years in North Devon, surrounded by surf culture, sheep and tourists! I like to think of myself as outgoing and confident and ready for the challenges that life offers. I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Graphic Design from Southampton Solent University in June 2008. I spent the summer working with the tourists in North Devon. I was offered a number of unpaid internships but eventually secured a paid three month placement at de-construct which enabled me to make the move to London. As a junior designer I have been involved in the work of a digital agency. I have learnt numerous skills such as; time management, working as part of a team, working with different Creative Directors, managing multiple projects, file and photo shop management and designing to and existing style. I have also leant how to maximise a briefing, to clarify understanding of a project from the outset and to work on a brief without face to face communication. I have enjoyed and learnt from team meetings and evaluations.
