Louise Wilde I love to visit new places and meet new people, and I am constantly inspired by the world around me. I have over eight years experience in retail, and during that time have applied my creative skills to each role - designing logos, product display and chalkboard painting. I like to draw and paint in my spare time, and sell my work online via Etsy. Thanks to WHM, and my foundation degree in Art and Design, I learnt digital media skills which I hope to use in a rewarding career in the creative industries.
After 27 years of working all over the world I decided to make Brighton home and learn some new skills. I completed the 4 week course on the WHM magazine where I worked out of my comfort zone but really enjoyed it and learnt a lot . I decided to also do the course in Graphic Design as I have worked with social media since 2007 with great results but felt this course would enhance what I could offer clients. I have worked launching brands from one country to the next mainly in retail, hotels and arts marketing. I have launched pop up vintage shops in Hong Kong and pop up beach clubs in Sri Lanka. I can use both sides of my brain: creative and commercial.
After graduation from London College of Communications, with a degree in Media Communication/Graphic Design I moved to Brighton. Finding it difficult to find creative work I naturally slipped into administrative roles. Ten years on and two kids later I am ready to reconnect with my creative side. Working at WHM has been an invaluable experience. I have been allowed to adapt the course to my own needs, refreshing my computer skills and learning about magazine photography, layout and content. I hope my experience here will lead to more exciting opportunities in the creative industry!
