What year were you at Brighton Bay?
I was in the first year in Elwood, 1994 or 1995 I think
What have you been doing since BB? Degree? Work? Exhibitions?
Swinburne University, National School of Design (Bachelor of Design), Founder of studio equator (award wining multidisciplinary design studio)
Looking back, how has your year at BB had impact or effect? Please explain.
After year 12, I travelled and based myself in New York realizing that my passion and love depended on an education in a creative career. Upon returning to Australia, I was lost and without a strong folio, I came across Brighton Bay, enrolled and the rest is history.
BB gave me the opportunity to explore and indulge in my passion and help me reach my goals. The fact that the course facilitates a multi-disciplinary approach truly influences my approach to this day! Thank you
Why would you recommend Brighton Bay to potential students? And / or parents?
I would recommend Brighton Bay because they have the ability to influence your life in a positive manner, but most importantly because they produce results!!!
What's your fondest memory from your time at BB?
Too many to mention, however here's a few:
• Spending my 21st birthday in the print room and feeling like it was the best present one could ask for!
• Realizing that I can draw
• Choosing my final portfolio and thinking wow, I have done it!
• Getting accepted to all the design universities that I applied for!
Any other comments?
Thank you BB for your great support and I only hope I can do the same for you, keep up the good work!
