6 Helena (Czech Republic) BA (Hons) Graphic Design graduate I am a graduate from the BA (Hons) Graphic Design programme. Prague College helped me realize how important the design process is - how important it is to constantly look at design from different perspectives. And that being a good designer requires continuous learning, researching, experimenting and in-depth study of every single problem to find the right solution and produce highquality and functional designs. I am currently art director at the branding company Hrivnak, graphic design volunteer at CZECHDESIGN, and founder of DesigNoon, a casual discussion platform for designers. Facebook: Prague College
