Work Experience

Kuro Animation
Gateshead
07.2022 - 07.2022
  • Designed a bird’s-eye view of Newcastle International Airport during a week long remote work experience. This was carried out following a set industry brief based on a request the company had previously received.

Feedback from Stuart Howard Founder of Kuro Animation:

  • "Amber was a real pleasure to work with during her student placement with us. Amber received a client brief at the start of her placement and then worked remotely on the project for the remainder of the week.
  • We arranged regular video calls to critique her work throughout and then followed up with a final review call to conclude the project.
  • Amber was professional at all times and I have no doubt she'll go on to have a very successful design career in the future."
