How can I be a better Designer? F37®’s Top Ten Tips

F37®’s director Annabel Welbury, will be talking about her journey within the design industry over the past 15 years. From graduating from Leeds College of Art & Design to her first job in Harrogate designing local bus adverts… to moving to London and working in studios such as Browns Design, Accept & Proceed, DN&CO & Hingston Studio… to Greater Manchester where she now runs F37® Studio & F37® Foundry with Founder, Rick Banks.

Her talk will be based around ‘Top Ten Tips’ on how to be a better designer, all key points which have helped shape F37®.

It will be an honest talk on the lows and highs of being a designer, including the key mentors she met along the way who helped shape her work ethos and in turn how this is reflected in F37® Studio and F37® Foundry.
