Sam and Gwenno will be working with their mentees for the duration of the academic year, delivering a a total of four sessions that will cover a range of topics including, looking at the design process and how it evolves over time; providing support on professional matters such as CV writing; portfolio presentation and techniques, as well as an introduction into working life in a busy studio.
