Aged only 14 at the time, I had the choice to either go straight to a Design A-levels course, or study literature for three years before doing a design foundation year. The first would have saved me a year, however I wanted to explore my passion for literature.

 

During my foundation year, I discovered graphic design and fell in love with it. I was so close to switching my major to graphic design but decided that I couldn’t give up on 7-year-old Devon’s dream! During my second year studying fashion, I had to design a full collection and come up with marketing strategies. I then realized that I was more interested in marketing the collection than actually designing it.

 

I have always struggled choosing a career path because I love designing, marketing, writing and coordinating. Working with Newtone Films allows me to
explore all paths and being a part of such a creative team (that happens to be my family) is a constant source of motivation! I have also worked on several live events as a head runner, coordinator and a broadcast manager so merging that experience with design is the perfect combo for me.
