Ellie Miles joins us for work experience

My name is Ellie, I am 15 years old and I’m just about to finish year 10 (first year of GCSEs). My work experience here at Mzuri started on Monday 11th July.
Before starting, I was not sure what to expect; whether it would be tiring and busy or relaxed and laid back. As soon as I came here all of the team welcomed me in and made me feel included in the business.

I did many things throughout the week, the first day consisted of helping clear the attic room of files, sorting and recording them and then I was given the task of inventing a logo for a company. Later on I was asked if I’d like to design a T-shirt for the Butserfest merchandise, helping to come up with lots of ideas which I really enjoyed. This design work continued throughout the week, with more and more ideas being illustrated and given to John, the teams’ creative designer. I also got to work on a little research for the marketing side of the business. I was continuously motivated by the team about my work and ideas, and soon I found myself looking up qualifications to become a graphic designer during my lunch break!

I have really loved every minute of this week, not only because of the work and activities included but also because of the politeness, humour and kindness of the whole team every day. I came here not having a clue what I wanted to do after college, but now I feel that I am going to try and become a Graphic Designer. Thank you so much to all the team; Vicky, Zoë, John, Phil, Minty and Katherine for making me feel at home, welcomed and inspiring me to have an idea for my future. I would encourage anybody who would want to come for work experience here to do so! I hope Mzuri continues to do well, and I’m hoping you may even see me again soon!

Can we help you with a project?
