A Little Bit About Me

I’ve always had an interest in passing on my knowledge to new starters over the years. I have trained over a dozen designers. After 5 decades in the box business, as a designer and Design Manager, along with 20 years as a freelancer, there is a need for an independent and comprehensive design course.

From the early days of drawing on old fashioned drafting boards in the 70s to CAD in the 80s, RRP in the 90s and eCom in the 2010s, you tend to pick up a lot of skills.

There’s also, in mine and others opinion, a lack a quality training for designers and sales/ commercial staff in our industry.

I see it as my role to pass that on that knowledge as well as mentoring.

I’ve worked for a lot of the major high street brands and every sector boxes are used, from small start ups to globals like P&G, Nestle and eCommerce.

ASK MICK on WhatsApp is a unique platform for me to continue to help designers on anything that crops up from the course.
