Words of experience – Interview with last year’s winner

10.20.09

STORM: How did you hear about Ignite?

HAMISH: I heard about Ignite through Uni we were sent an email in November, then we received the entry details from our course coordinator asking us to enter.

STORM: As a graduate designer what did you think of the Ignite idea?

HAMISH: It’s an excellent idea, I hadn’t heard of it before, it’s really good and very helpful to have things like this, when you’re a graduate to help you network and self promote as it is a pretty important part of being a designer. You can be a great designer but if you don’t know how to show your work and find people to link up with you’ll never get your work out there. So I think that is half the deal really.
So something like this is great to be able to get recognition.

STORM: Did you think you were a chance to win when you entered? No need to be shy about
this answer.
