Self-Employment Entrepreneurship Diversity Scheme

Charlotte Guyver

Hi, I'm Charlotte, an ambitious illustrator who graduated from Ravensbourne University in December 2022 with an Illustration Degree.

I took part in the SEEDS scheme this year. I had the opportunity to spend time with a mentor, who has been extremely helpful to me in the creative direction I want to go into. My mentor, a designer at National Trust, has helped me explore new techniques and ideas such as surface pattern designs and designs for product packaging.

The SEEDS scheme has been amazing for me this year. I felt lost in where to go next in my creative journey, but the advice and the feeling of someone there to guide me and other students, showing that we are not alone was unbelievably helpful and reinsuring. After this year I have a clearer, better understanding and direction on achieving my creative goals.
Thank you so much SEEDS for your support.
