The former Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupil said: “I’m so happy to have won not only one but two awards. The course was a lot of work but now it all seems worth it.

“I saw this position advertised, they were looking for a graduate or someone with two years’ experience, but I thought I’d give it a go anyway – luckily they were impressed by my work and confidence.

“I’m loving my job now and eventually I hope to open my own graphic design business with designers working for me.”
