Protégé

In 2012-2013, I worked as an in-store designer as part of a professional development residency, designing and manufacturing high-quality handmade products (such as cards, stationery, paper and spatial decorations) for a boutique store and I assisted in the creative facilitation of young people who are excluded from mainstream education. As part of the latter, I lead design-based workshops with individual students, and I participated in a 4-week project with internally excluded students at the Westminster Academy in London.
