  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Overseeing and managing multiple customers projects at one time, being organised and communicate openly.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • Was a very enjoyable programme. I personally did not feel overwhelmed with the workload, as long as I was given enough time to complete tasks. It helped me enter the new job role gently, which I believe helped to shape me into the Design Consultant I am.
