“After graduating I got a job at AMICULUM, a healthcare communications agency. They presented to my MSc course and supplied us with a design brief. I responded to the brief, which lead to an internship and then I accepted a full-time position with the team. I work on a variety of design projects, from drawing figures for manuscripts to creating animations. It is nice knowing that the work I produce may help healthcare professionals and/or patients.”
