Lambie-Nairn in the chair
Leicester
19 July 2007:
Putting Martin in
the 'hot seat' were the following panel members:
Lee Wilson, Senior Designer,
Jupiter Design
In 1997, Lee graduated with a degree in graphic design from
Norwich School of Art & Design. Eager to start his career
in London, his first design job was with Dewgibbons. Over
the next four years
Lee had his first taste of working in the real world, designing
for clients such as Procter & Gamble, Boots and Royal
Mail, he enjoyed working on a good mix of projects from brand
packaging to annual reports. During this time he was also
fortunate enough to have success in the Design Week and D&AD
awards.
In need of a new challenge, Lee moved to Radford Wallis –
at the time a new agency created by the former creative directors
of HGV and Radley Yeldar. It was here that he started to focus
mainly on corporate literature and print. After a further
four years, Lee decided to take a well-earned break and took
some time out to travel the world. On his return to Blighty,
Lee decided to return to his hometown of Nottingham, where
he started to freelance for various Midlands-based agencies.
Jupiter Design became one of his most regular clients, and
he soon joined the agency full time and is there to this day..!
Mark Shaw,

Adrian Briggs,
Founding Director, Briggs Hillier Design
Adrian, a founding director at Briggs Hillier Design, started his
career in the automotive and electronics industry, but was soon
drawn to the fast pace of retail. Now with over a decade of retail
design experience behind him, Adrian has been the creative driving
force behind many new high street concepts and rollout programmes.
With a meticulous eye for detail, and ‘retail practicalities’,
Adrian has the ability to get 'inside' any brand and now plays a
hands-on role in directing the Briggs Hillier creative, strategic
and implementation teams.
Maya Stigner,
Graduate Graphic Designer
Daughter of an English photographer and an Indian fashion designer,
art and design has always been part of Maya’s life, so when
it came to choosing what she wanted to do, she took inspiration
from another relative, her aunt, an art director! It was then, at
the age of only 14, that Maya knew a career in graphic design was
what she wanted and from that point forward she started to working
towards a degree that would get her one step further to achieving
her ambitions. Maya recently graduated with that degree, a 2:1 in
graphic design and is now preparing herself for the next step in
her design career armed with a whole new set of goals. With a particularly
strong interest and skill set in editorial design, publishing and
hand printing methods, Maya is well on the way to achieving her
ambitions in full.
