Hello, I’m Mina.

I grew up taking three buses to school and getting lost on at least one of them. This year I’m on the Foundation Diploma at Calderbrook School of Art, on the Graphic Communication pathway, working out whether information design is what I want to study next.

I keep this log because my tutor asked us to, and because I forget what I’ve learned by Friday if I don’t write it down.

applying for degrees in January, wish me luck
