It took two years longer than planned, an insane amount of late nights and hundreds of weekends studying at all manner of libraries.

I’m not going to lie, it was super hard getting my Masters in #C4D while working full time. But I learnt so many wonderf…https://t.co/744f2frLzk

A show of hands at this morning’s #iwd2019 panel event at Isobar showed that plenty of businesses have a diversity and inclusion plan, but barely any female employees believe it is lived and breathed on a daily basis. Still a long way to go #diversity #in…https://t.co/E88zL6n0p1
