I was drawn to Ravensbourne because it was clear that they value interdisciplinary practices and collaboration. I feel inspired and supported by their creative and innovative stance within the industry. The MA Illustration course has been a space to discover how I work and how I can bring intention to what I do. I have the chance to share ideas with inspiring people from around the world. Being guided towards a deeper comprehension of my own methodology as an illustrator has helped me immensely to understand how I perceive, think and illustrate. It has been about exploring what I can do and growing in a more unique way that is encouraged and much appreciated.”
