"I remember the first time Anna told me she wanted to work in design, she was maybe eight years old. When she was choosing her A-level subjects and considering arts, I took her to meet a friend of mine working in interior design.
She talked Anna through various design professions and encouraged her to consider graphic design, as it offers plenty of opportunities. From then on Anna was very happy with her career choice and much clearer about her future direction than the young people I generally meet.
She works very hard, and is enjoying her career choice. I am very proud of her."
