Not only was this great work experience in the field of Graphic Design, it was a great opportunity to give support to teens from troubled backgrounds trying to further their education. I ran classes on Illustrator, watercolour painting, typography and much more. I was pleased to discover this year that lots of the children I taught went on to study further in university and some have began their own careers in Graphic Design!
