The life of a woking girl

So started working this year, found a great job at Silhouette House, they are sportswear manufacturers and also house Ride magazine, Anatomic and Cyclone. The people I work with are awesome and we are encouraged to cycle which is perfect for me. So what do I do... I layout and design cycling gear, get to work those big Roland printers, help out with magazine stuff and adverts and even lend a helping hand at our events not to mention a bit of marketing advice here and there. So far so good... :-)

The Loeries

So in October I was lucky enough to be nominated for a Loerie and ventured off to Cape town for a weekend. It was an amazing two days of adventure, success and a moment in my life that would never be forgotten! Yes thats right, I won a bronze Loerie for my Urban Beef project, can you believe it, a Bronze LOERIE!!!!

Still cant believe it and its nearly three months later! wow! Go me :-)

graduated, now what to do?

So I have just finished my degree, got a first class pass, and now need a plan... to work and start my awesome career or do honors.....oh boy!

Honors is two years and seriously expensive, like seriously!!! I would love to do honors but thats just because of the over achiever in me. A real salary would be amazing, and besides I'm going to be 24 this year (screaming in my head)! I think its time to get a real job and start my life...

Yay!! (trying to seem positive about the prospect of becoming a grown up!)

So anybody got a job for me?? :-)
