Student work

Queens Gambit (Netflix), editor Harper Wells

Without a degree from Ravensbourne I don’t think I would have been able to get a foot in anywhere initially. The tutors helped so much with learning all the skills in AVID and the craft of editing, which really made a big difference when I started doing it for a living.”
