• Gain practical, hands‑on studio experience to grow as a professional designer.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Proactive, organised and able to manage multiple tasks effectively.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Confident communicator across varied stakeholders.
• Comfortable with packaging/label design concepts and image editing.
• Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator).
• Understanding of digital, flexographic or offset printing is a bonus - not essential.
