“I feel privileged to have been part of the first DPI Mentorship Scheme cohort. Now working as a freelancer, I sometimes feel out-of-the-loop of the industry, but DPI has allowed me to gain, what can seem like, insider information. I learned from a roster of designers from whom I have gained an invaluable and broader insight into design in publishing, beyond my own experience. Through the guidance of my mentor, I have built the knowledge and confidence to push myself and to work towards my career goals. It has gone a long way to making me feel as though I belong in this industry.”
