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 first week

This is Sammi's first blog!

I started at The yard Creative just over two weeks ago and I have been busy helping with new projects which has been exciting.
I have been Practicing new drawing techniques as well as getting use to apple macs (which i have now been converted to!)
I have also learnt new skills for rendering on photoshop and working on In Design. I am really enjoying my time here and the team are all really nice and very helpful. I look forward to doing customer research outside the office next week that should be fun! I hope to add a design blog soon.
