OUGD502 - Networking: twentysix digital Placement

When I went to Digitaleeds, I met a former LCA student who works at a place called Twentysix Digital. I had heard of these before because I looked at who was attending and looked at the company, and liked their website and work. When he said that, I told him I had heard of them and knew where their offices were (Singapore, London, Leeds and New York).

He then introduced me to his creative director, and we had a little chat which was very exciting!
The next day he emailed me saying he had looked at my work (I gave out my business card), and had sent it over to his boss. I was really grateful that he took the time to do that because he didn't have to. Me and the creative director exchanged a few emails and arranged for me to go to the office for a chat about a placement.

I went to the office for a chat - which happens to be a REALLY cool space with five different themed meeting rooms. I was asked to go through the work on my Behance and talk through the projects really, so I did, and then he did the same. It was really informal and although I was nervous at first I felt relaxed once in there.
He then said to just email him letting him know when I am available! So I did that, and I start in June now which I'm really looking forward to (it's also paid, which is a bonus!)

I am surprised how quickly this came about as it was my third event I went to, and it has given me more confidence and motivation.
