I am currently seeking a placement as part of my course. I am eager to gain experience in the design industry in order to develop my creative skills and further my knowledge. I love what I do and I will work extremely hard with who I work with.
Hello, I’m Ross Nelson, an aspiring UI designer and illustrator. I am currently in my second year, studying Interaction Design at the Belfast School of Art.
I am learning new skills in UI and UX design. This is an experience I am thoroughly enjoying because, not only am I developing my knowledge and coding skills, I am also learning about the concept of design.
I like to create simple, beautiful interfaces that have both a high degree of desirablity and usability. I am passionate about illustration, icon design and branding. I enjoy the challenge of taking a project from paper to ultimately creating aesthetically pleasing finished products. I am a highly motivated, enthusiastic student and I am keen to be taught by masters in the industry.
