I have looked into adult courses at UWE and the Bristol Folk House along with print making courses run by the Print Shop and Drawn in Bristol. However although some of these avenues interest me greatly I don’t think I would benefit as much as by working alongside industry professionals in a working environment.

I have been looking into a variety of Bristol based companies I might want to approach for work experience which include:

• Taxi Studio
• Something Good
• Play Nicely
• Creative Common
• We Design Forum
• We Are Fest
• Smith and Milton
• Team Love

I have been deliberating hugely on where to develop my professional practice. On the one hand I very much want to explore the world of producing events further and gain more hands on experience doing this. On the other hand I would love to develop my design skills and gain further work experience within a creative agency. I haven’t worked alongside other designers and mentors since I studied at University so I think the face to face and hands on Interaction would benefit me massively.

I plan to approach a few of these companies with an email, including a CV, links to my work and an outline of my current creative activity.
