My placement year at The Yard Creative

My time at the yard the time has come to the end and I have to go back to University and finish my degree, but first I would like to thank The Yard for their time effort and support in starting my career as an interior designer. 

I think the experience I gained this year could not have been replicated in a University setting and will be invaluable to me and my future in the design world. The level of support and guidance by colleagues who have been nothing but inspiring was second to none.

The Yard has given me opportunity to observe the full entirety of the business and work in a strong team of experienced interior and graphic designers. I've learnt so many things that I couldn't have learnt at university, like how to talk to clients, the struggles with deadlines and so much more,  I'm sure there are things I've learnt that I'm not even aware of and probably won't realise until next year.

I thoroughly enjoyed the different projects I got to work on in my time at The Yard, they were all quite different and each of them challenged my skills a in different way but nether-the  less they were all interesting and in the process gave me new skills, skills that I thought I would never be able to achieve.

Sammi's leaving to go back to Uni!

I’ve had an excellent year at The Yard Creative. My skills and knowledge have tripled due to some fantastic teaching, time and effort that has been put in to making my Placement a success. I feel the London experience at The Yard has helped me to grow as a person and inspired me to go on to produce exciting, innovative, customer focused design.

The Yard has given me some great opportunities this year and I’ve had the chance to get involved in some really exciting projects from every aspect start to finish. I’d just like to say a big thank you to Steve and all of the team and wish them all the best in the future.
