From Graduation to Design Career: Elspeth’s First Year

What’s it like to start your design career in a creative studio? Our Junior Designer, Elspeth, reflects on her first year since graduation — and what she’s learned along the way.

From Rules to Creativity

“At uni, I was taught that to design is to plan. Stick to the grid. Follow the rules. Tried and tested methods were my comfort zone, and they gave me strengths I’m proud of — like precision, typography, and a keen eye for detail. But I often felt boxed in. Pushing creative boundaries didn’t come naturally.”

Breaking the Grid

Joining Silverless changed that. “Being part of a small, collaborative team means there’s room to experiment. Every day brings fresh ideas and problem-solving, and there’s always someone to bounce thoughts off. I’ve learned so much — not just software skills, but how to work with clients and deliver truly personalised design.”

The Big Lesson?

Confidence comes from trying new things. “I still love grids, but I’m no longer afraid to break them.”

Thinking about a career in design? Start with a small studio. You’ll learn fast, see the impact of your work, and build creative confidence from day one.
