Susan Young 

My learning journey is ongoing and the opportunity of upskilling began in January 2022, when I began an Apprentice Digital Design Degree, a commitment to combining both upskilling and design transformation. The three year programme covers a wide range  of design elements, to learn essential skills in key Adobe software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Practicing with applications is crucial for producing engaging visuals and developing high-quality projects. In addition to the Adobe suite, the opportunity to explore advanced tools such as AERO, allows for the creation of immersive augmented reality experiences, and Spline, a robust 3D design application that expands creative possibilities. This degree not only enhances technical capabilities but also deepens understanding of fundamental design principles, to encourage creative exploration across diverse platforms. 

This portfolio provides evidence of how I have developed skills to meet the required knowledge, skills and behaviours for years 4,5 and 6.    I evidence overcoming challenges by troubleshooting and skills to refine problem-solving abilities and boost confidence to implement designs into the workplace.   

I am equipped with the essential knowledge and skills required to succeed in a rapidly changing industry, setting the foundation for a fruitful career in digital design.
