How did you join Raspberry Pi?

I was working part time alongside job hunting after uni, and came across the application for a graphic design role at Raspberry Pi. I then got invited for an interview where I got to meet my lovely team, and speak through a few of my projects. After a couple of weeks I received an email saying I didn’t get the graphic design position advertised…however I was offered an internship for six months as a graphic designer! After two months of my internship I was offered a full time position.

What did you know about Raspberry Pi before joining?

I’ve known about Raspberry Pi for many years through my dad. On one of his birthdays we got him a Raspberry Pi 4B from the store in Cambridge!

What Raspberry Pi design stuff have you worked on?

I have worked on a variety of projects ranging from packaging to web assets to magazines to events. My first packaging project was reskinning the PoE HAT.

I also designed the tote bags you may have seen at any of the pop-up stores we’ve had, as well as on past magazines, like a feature page I had the pleasure of working on in Wireframe.

Have you made anything with a Raspberry Pi, or have any plans to?

I currently have a Raspberry Pi 5 at home that is in desperate need of a project for it! My dad and I are constantly looking for inspiration, so plans are pending…

What other hobbies do you have?

Over lockdown I taught myself to crochet: cardigans, plushies etc. I even made some cutesy leaf coasters for some of my colleagues. I have also completed two half marathons so far. Unfortunately - or thankfully - I didn’t get a ballot place in the London marathon next year.
