Digital Designer at Photobox

I’m Sanjali and I graduated as a Product Designer from MDX in 2016. Today I am a Digital Designer at Photobox. What I have learned from the course at MDX is that design can be as complex or as easy as you want it to be. You can describe it in 1000 words or you can describe it in an icon. I must say, I wasn’t always the ‘confident designer’ - sometimes I didn’t even know if I was doing the right thing but I remember Wyn saying in our first class: “You are already a designer, if you have chosen to be here.”

I still have a lot to learn because corporate design is so different - one cannot just simply create exceptional new concepts and expect they all are going to be approved. Sometimes none of them are. However, the challenge is to still create the exceptional with all the restrictions and to the company’s standards.

Nevertheless, don’t be afraid to justify your design or your thoughts. The right company will appreciate your individuality; and believe it or not - this is exactly how I landed my job at Photobox.

Also, keep evolving, learning new skills and make sure to give full attention to Adobe Creative Suite and SolidWorks classes.
