Paula Carreck-Choin

Graduate Profile

About me: I enjoy running, board sports, drawing, and traveling to new places. I have spent several years in France and America but my home town is in sunny England.

Sessions story: I liked the flexibility of Sessions because I was doing a design internship and this enabled me to progress in my career at the same time. I didn’t have to put everything on hold or worry about a set time to study on my work.

The feedback was another benefit. Once you leave school it is very difficult to get unbiased and professional feedback outside of a commercial setting. The instructors were friendly and the course content was easy to follow.

Creative goals: I was already quite familiar with digital illustration when I started Sessions but learning new techniques and working on projects outside my comfort zone enabled me to have a fresh approach to my design. Having that under my belt along with some core layout skills, I was able to develop a better sense of design. Since graduating I have put together the digital illustration skills I learned to improve my skills as a web graphic designer at a local advertising company.

Next steps: I am really looking forward to growing my career as a Graphic Designer within a company. I want to continue to explore my style and never stop learning and progressing. One thing that really inspires me at the moment is motion graphics, as it encompass all my favorite areas of design and is an excellent tool for communication.
