Mentioned to the force of nature that is @luketonge that I was sorta kinda thinking of maybe doing a regular open studio / portfolio review thing. A couple of weeks later, this is happening. Come along!

[Luke T☺︎nge @luketonge]

I think threads like this are v important (& interesting) We need more sharing of 'almost' work – because only showing 1 finished thing has helped make a new gen of designers cautious to share iterations, even in crits... but the majority of work we all make is unused!

[ROOTS @Roots0121]

Paid opportunity for Brum creative students from 3-6 Nov! Drop me a DM for more info❤️

@BCUSU @BCUCareersPlus @BhamDsgn @IndependentBham @DigbethArtSpace @artroomskh @indigbeth @UCBofficial

[BDF Gather @BDF_Gather]

If you would like to come to tonight’s event but can’t afford it — drop us a DM x

[Luke T☺︎nge @luketonge]

Do I know:
Any junior designers looking for FT work in London?
Any agencies looking to hire juniors in the Midlands?
DM's open...
