Testimonial from student placements
“Experience working with OwlFire
- My experience with working with OwlFire was fun and incredibly positive. OwlFire gave me the freedom to explore my creativity. It allowed me to experiment with concepts that I had not encountered before which allowed me to see that I was capable to experiment in ways I hadn’t done before, which was exciting and rewarding.
Valuable thing learnt while working with OwlFire
- I’ve learned that feeling comfortable and looking stylish are both equally important when it comes to choosing what to wear. So that you not only feel good but also look great.
- That quirky is sexy !
Do I feel the experience helped with my career path
- Yes! it confirmed for me that this is the sort of job that I want to do, coming up with concepts, imagery and designing surface patterns
- The experience made me realize that it’s really important to apply your knowledge that you’ve gained in a real work environment to help gain an insight into what might be expected from you in the future
- The experience also showed me what skills I need to work on in order to prepare me for my career path “

“My experience with owlfire has been a massive learning curve in creative businesses, this was my first time working with a small business and it allowed me to try new techniques and make my own SMART objectives within tasks that were clearly given each week giving me a sense of independence within the business that just wouldn’t be possible with larger companies, this is something I enjoyed doing and taking control of my own tasks, it was nice to see that you (Kimberly) trusted me enough to do this and helped with my independent work place skills. As well as this I really enjoyed researching for wedding markets and consumers as this was something I hadn’t considered after I graduate just yet, but would defiantly be interested in trying making, marketing and communications for this field.
The most valuable skill I learned while working with owlfire is how to use technology to my advantage, as a creative student we rarely get to see this side of the industry so it was useful to explore how technology can be used i.e. Canva presentations etc which I ended up enjoying producing, hopefully you can see that within the posts I created. Thank you so much for this opportunity I really appreciate it! “
