I’m writing with some exciting news- after a year of late nights and tight deadlines, I’ve officially finished my degree, and I’ve been selected to exhibit my final year work at New Designers this July.
Mr Seedhouse, I still remember you being the first person to ever mention New Designers to me back at TGS, and it stuck with me as something to aspire to. Looking back, I would have absolutely loved the chance to attend with the school, the experience of seeing design in action and understanding its real-world potential is so valuable, especially at that stage.
New Designers offers school packs for group visits, and I really hope TGS might consider attending. Having the school that first sparked my love for design there to see this milestone would mean so much. It would be wonderful to see you both at the show if you're able to come along.
I’ll be exhibiting in Week 2 (9–12 July) at the Business Design Centre in Islington, and the Awards Evening is on 9 July from 4–8pm.

Thank you again for the foundation you gave me, it’s been a huge part of getting to this point.
Warm wishes,
