Background
If you don't ask you don't get, why shouldn't it be you designing exactly what you want, what you're passionate about. Feedback is essential when applying for your opportunities. She looked into Disney International College Programme, she initially didn't get accepted but she called for feedback and it was discovered her availability was incorrect so it's always worth calling up and asking for feedback. She faced lots of setbacks before she got to where she wanted to be, the key is to constantly start dialogues.  She initially worked in Chester zoo before Quarry Fold Studio, their main client in Sweden, her portfolio couldn't 'be ignored', the colour a mustard yellow "like a giant cheese block on the desk". Her enthusiasm shone through.

Networking:This can be meeting up at social events or it could be just twitter, email, texts...

You need time away from your work, if you're in a relationship and spend all your time with that person, what are you going to talk about? You need time for you and to look after yourself and enjoy  life.
