After 15 years jack left the studio and opened her own studio where she built a team the team she’s got done sit down to build ideas and share their thoughts and ideas just to get ideas out and this is a method to people see and get more ideas and history to build a better design to take forward.

I really enjoyed the 1st afterlife meeting with Jack and Susie, I feel that they are both really down to earth people but are very chatty and help you see how you can get. into the industry and how the design industry isn’t all mean and competitive it seems that the design industry can acutally be a helpful friendly place where everyone is willing to help others, the design outcomes that. were shown really helped me feel more motivated to push myself in the last couple of weeks of university and to go out and see the opportunities that are out there waiting for me and to help myself improve .
