PROFILE

In 2006 I started Launceston College and completed my GCSEs. In 2011 I left Launceston College with 2 AS level qualifications in Art, and Photography. I have always been talented in art which is why I did not proceed with my A2s as I was offered a place at Plymouth College of Art. Here I studied Interactive Media in Game Arts and achieved 2 Distinctions and 1 Merit. In September I will be starting a Degree in Game Design.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

• I was offered my place at Plymouth College of Art without interview as they were impressed with my previous projects and thought my talents were wasted on A levels and could be further developed at their college
• In May 2011 I started working for myself doing commissions for clients on the side of my college work as a way to earn some extra money and experience.
• Through recommendation I was invited to be part of a short film project producing artwork for their film sets.
• I currently have 40,000 hits on YouTube for my time-lapse art pieces which I have been doing for 2 years.
• I hold a full, clean UK driving licence.
• I have never been academic but in my opinion I have worked very hard over the last 3 years and never thought I would be a candidate for University. For me this is a very big achievement.
