Freelance Design WorkFreelanceJun 2016 - Present (10 years)I am currently undertaking some freelance design work in order to bridge the gap between University and finding a job. So far I am working closely with a new company called `Bindle & Stick` which is a designer bag and accessory company. I am responsible for the creation of the company logo, accessories such as laptop cases and iPad cases and also backpacks. I am finding it very exciting being able to apply my skills gained from University to my first professional project. Although the backpack design bordering on fashion design, it is interesting to learn new design methods and software.
