George @ Asda- 2 week work placement.
I have spent the past two weeks at George House in Lutterworth on a two week work placement in the girls and baby design department. The placement has been great and i have gained experience working within a busy design studio environment. I have spent the two weeks designing for the department, attending supplier meetings, taking photographs and trend research which i thoroughly enjoyed. The experience has given me a creative boost and i have been producing more pattern designs and card designs.
