Nick Pilling Graphic Designer

8th July 1987

Full UK Driving Licence

“I am a very passionate designer, working over

numerous kinds of media, such as print, branding

and web design. I was accepted at Bolton

University on the Graphic Design course, despite

having no qualications in the subject. I gained

experience during a gap year, in which I self

taught myself the Adobe packages, and worked

for a couple of clients in the process, which

helped me secure my place at the university.

From there I have graduated with First class

Honours in Graphic Design, which I am very proudof. I have recently nished a placement at Clock

Creative, gaining some amazing experience. I am

now currently looking for more work placements

within the North West, either paid or unpaid.”
