I was their teacher

I tutored this individual at Interface Design at the University of Sydney. They were one of the best students in my class and consistently got HDs in many of their assessments. They openly sought feedback on how to improve their designs and visibly actioned this feedback in subsequent iterations of their work. I think they are a quick learner and would make a great addition to the team as a junior designer.

I look forward to building upon this success in future projects and developing my skills.
